## 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-csv-escape-80abb636 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you CSV-escape this field value for me — it's got commas and quotes in it: 'Smith, John "Johnny" Jr.'

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a lightweight, local, no-retention utility to safely escape individual CSV field values during agent-driven CSV row construction — especially when you cannot use a full CSV library, need to pay-per-call with no API key setup, or require a guaranteed stateless operation with no data retention.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing 'text' field may return an error or trivially empty result
- Extremely long strings may hit payload size limits
- Non-string input types may cause a validation error
- Network timeout on payment processing via x402 may prevent the call from completing

## How this service works

CSV-escape a single field. Call when you build CSV rows from agent fields with commas/quotes. Returns escaped field and quoted flag for $0.001 USDC via x402 on Base. No network, no keys, no retention; first-party local JSON only. Results are advisory; the caller owns budgets, auth, and production controls.

## Output

Returns the escaped CSV field value with any embedded double-quotes doubled up and the whole field wrapped in quotes if necessary, plus a boolean flag indicating whether the field was quoted.
