## 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-extract-emails-lite-e690c384 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull out all the email addresses from this text for me? 'Please contact support@example.com or sales@company.org for assistance, and CC billing@example.com on your reply.'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to quickly identify candidate email addresses from agent-held text without any network calls, SMTP validation, or external lookups. It is ideal for lightweight preprocessing pipelines, privacy-sensitive contexts where no data should leave the local flow, or when you simply want raw pattern-matched tokens before deciding whether to validate them further. Prefer alternatives if you need actual mailbox verification, MX record lookup, or email enrichment.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing 'text' field returns zero results or an error
- Text with no email-shaped patterns returns an empty list and count of 0
- Very long text inputs may hit payload size limits
- Malformed email-like patterns (e.g. missing TLD or @) will not be returned as they fail shape matching
- Payment failure via x402 prevents request execution

## How this service works

Extract email-shaped tokens from free text (shape only). Call when you need candidate emails from agent-held text without SMTP validation. Returns email list and count (shape match only) for $0.001 USDC via x402 on Base. Shape match only—not mailbox verification, MX lookup, or enrichment. No network, no keys, no retention. Results are advisory; the caller owns budgets, auth, and production controls.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing a list of email-shaped tokens found in the input text (pattern-matched only, no SMTP or MX verification) and a count of how many were found. Results are advisory — callers must decide how to act on unverified addresses.
