## 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-lite-6c5e7086 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Before you log that response, scrub any email addresses out of it and replace them with [REDACTED_EMAIL] — here's the text: 'Please contact john.doe@example.com or support@company.org for help.'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, stateless, no-retention email redaction step before logging or storing agent-generated text. It is ideal for privacy-conscious pipelines where no external NLP service or regex overhead is desired and where a simple [REDACTED_EMAIL] placeholder is acceptable. Prefer it over full PII-scrubbing services when only email addresses need to be removed and cost must remain minimal ($0.001 per call).

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing 'text' field returns an error or unmodified empty string
- Extremely long text strings may be truncated or rejected
- Non-string input types may cause a validation error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol prevents processing
- Edge-case email formats (IDN, uncommon TLDs) may not be matched

## How this service works

Replace email-shaped tokens with a redaction marker. Call when you scrub emails from agent-held text before logging. Returns text with emails replaced by [REDACTED_EMAIL] 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 input text with every email address token replaced by the literal string [REDACTED_EMAIL]. No data is retained by the service; processing is local and first-party. The response is a modified text string suitable for safe logging or downstream use.
