## 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 email-address-normalizer-549c6788
```

Example prompt: Can you normalize the email address 'john.doe+newsletter@gmail.com' for me — strip out any plus-tags and dots so I get the canonical inbox address?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to canonicalize email addresses specifically for Gmail-style alias detection (plus-tags and dot-insensitivity) before deduplication, storage, or comparison. It is appropriate for lightweight, single-email normalization at $0.001 per call. Prefer alternatives if you need full email validation, MX record checking, deliverability scoring, or batch normalization of large lists.

## Known failure modes

- Missing 'email' query parameter — returns an error or empty result
- Invalid or malformed email address — normalization may still attempt but output may be unreliable
- Non-Gmail domains are passed through unchanged, so plus-tag stripping does not apply
- Network timeout or service unavailability — standard HTTP error response

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the original input email, the normalized (canonical) email with plus-tags and Gmail dots removed, a boolean flag indicating whether a plus-tag was present, and a note clarifying that Gmail-specific normalization is applied while other domains are preserved as-is and this is not proof of identity.
