## 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 inkbox-ai-content-studio-dumb-down-460612e5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you dumb down this paragraph so it's easy for a general audience to understand? Here it is: 'Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon whereby two particles become correlated in such a manner that the quantum state of each particle cannot be described independently of the state of the others, even when separated by a large distance.'

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to automatically simplify dense, technical, academic, legal, or medical text into plain language for general audiences, non-expert readers, or accessibility purposes — especially when integrated into a content workflow that processes many such documents at $0.20 per call.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing 'text' field returns a 400 validation error
- Extremely long input text may be truncated or rejected
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) returns a 402 error
- Service unavailability returns a 503 error
- Ambiguous or already-simple input may return text nearly identical to the original
