## 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-redact-emails-in-text-6458a281 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Before I publish these support logs, can you redact any email addresses in this text: 'User john.doe@example.com contacted support@company.com on Tuesday asking about their order'?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a deterministic, first-party, no-subscription micro-service to redact email addresses from text before publishing logs, support dumps, RAG document chunks, or any content where PII leakage is a concern. Prefer it over regex-only client-side approaches when you want an auditable external call, and over heavyweight NLP-based PII services when you only need email-pattern redaction at low cost ($0.001 USDC per call via x402 on Base).

## Known failure modes

- Text exceeds 100,000 character limit — returns a structured validation error (not billed)
- Missing or null 'text' field in request body — returns validation error
- Payment not provided or insufficient — returns 402 Payment Required
- Network timeout or service unavailability — returns 5xx error

## How this service works

Redact emails in text. Call before publishing logs, support dumps, or RAG snippets that may contain addresses. Returns text with email-like spans replaced by a safe placeholder. $0.001 USDC per successful call via x402 on Base—deterministic first-party JSON, no API key, no subscription, and nothing is billed on structured validation errors.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the processed text with all email-like spans replaced by a safe placeholder string. The structure of the text is otherwise preserved. No data is retained by the service after the response.
