## 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 foundry-word-count-text-statistics-42191c35 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you analyze this paragraph and tell me the word count, reading time, and top words: 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog near the river bank every single morning'?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quick, structured text statistics — word count, reading time, and word frequency — without spinning up an NLP pipeline. Ideal for content editors, writing assistants, CMS tools, or any workflow that needs to validate document length or estimate audience reading time. At $0.001 per call it is cost-effective for high-volume document processing.

## Known failure modes

- Input text exceeds 8,000 character limit — request rejected
- Empty or missing input field — may return zeros or an error
- Non-English text may produce inaccurate sentence/paragraph segmentation
