## 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-xml-escape-50f49047 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you XML-escape this string for me: 'Hello <world> & 'friends'" — I need to safely embed it inside an XML element?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call XML character escaping operation without setting up any account or subscription. Ideal for agents that occasionally need to sanitize strings for XML documents and want verifiable, on-demand microtransaction pricing via USDC. Prefer this over a local utility when operating in a serverless or constrained environment where importing XML libraries is not practical.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty 'text' field returns an error
- Extremely large input strings may be rejected or time out
- Malformed JSON request body returns a parse error
- Network or payment processing failure via x402 protocol results in no response
