## 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 delx-commerce-json-escape-23f38b32 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you JSON-escape this string for me so I can safely embed it in a JSON payload: 'say "hello"
line2'?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs a reliable, pay-per-use utility to JSON-escape arbitrary strings without setting up a server-side library — especially useful in agent pipelines that process untrusted or dynamic text that must be embedded in JSON payloads, and where a simple hosted microservice is preferable to implementing escape logic inline.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing 'text' field returns an error
- Extremely large input strings may be rejected or time out
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 response before processing
- Malformed request body returns 400-level error
