## 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-trim-collapse-whitespace-2ee05572 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Clean up this text by trimming any leading or trailing spaces and collapsing all the extra spaces in the middle into single spaces: '  hello   delx   world  '

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call text normalization step without setting up any account or subscription — ideal for agents that occasionally need to clean whitespace from strings as part of a pipeline, especially when cost predictability and no-signup simplicity matter.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty text field — likely returns an error or unchanged result
- Non-string input type — may cause validation failure
- Payment failure via x402 — 402 response if USDC payment is not provided or insufficient

## How this service works
