## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability deepl-rephrase-09fe09f1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you rephrase this paragraph using DeepL Write in a business writing style with a confident tone, in American English: 'We are trying to look into ways we might possibly be able to reduce the costs associated with our operational processes.'

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when the goal is to improve, rephrase, or polish existing text rather than translate it between languages. Best when the user wants to adjust tone or writing style within a supported language. Choose DeepL Write over generic LLM rephrasing when high-quality, style-controlled text refinement is needed for professional or academic use cases.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported target_lang value returns a validation error
- Text field missing or empty causes a 400 Bad Request
- Invalid tone or writing_style enum value may cause a 422 error
- Very long input text may be truncated or rejected
- Network timeout on large text inputs

## How this service works

Improve and rephrase text with DeepL Write. Fix grammar, adjust tone, change writing style, and convert between language variants (e.g. US → British English).

## Output

Returns the rephrased and improved version of the input text, rewritten according to the specified target language, tone (enthusiastic, friendly, confident, diplomatic, or default), and writing style (simple, business, academic, casual, or default).

```json
{
 "text": [
  "We are trying to look into ways we might possibly be able to reduce the costs associated with our operational processes."
