## 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-ticker-canonicalize-feb3bdff -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you canonicalize the ticker string 'ETHUSDC' for me — I need it split into its parts and standardized to the proper format like ETH/USDC?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to normalize, validate, or parse raw ticker strings before passing them to downstream APIs (price feeds, trading engines, data warehouses). Ideal when input comes from users or external sources in inconsistent formats. Prefer this over ad-hoc string splitting when accuracy and verifiable delivery matter, especially in agent pipelines that consume cryptocurrency market data.

## Known failure modes

- Unrecognized or malformed ticker string returns valid:false
- Missing 'ticker' field in request body causes validation error
- Ambiguous ticker with no clear split point may return unexpected parts
- Network or payment processing failure returns HTTP 402 or 5xx error
- Very unusual or exotic tickers may not be recognized

## How this service works

## Output

Returns a JSON object with: the canonical ticker string (e.g. 'ETH/USDC'), an array of its component parts (e.g. ['ETH','USDC']), a boolean validity flag, a schema identifier string, and the input length. Allows agents to confirm the ticker is well-formed and get its normalized representation.
