## 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 kihustle-crc16-checksum-calculator-2c3784fc -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you calculate the CRC16 checksum for the text 'Hello, World!' ?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call CRC16 checksum computation without standing up your own infrastructure. Useful for agents that occasionally need error-detection codes or data integrity checks for small text payloads and want a simple API over implementing the algorithm locally.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing 'text' field may return an error or zero checksum
- Very large input strings may cause timeout or rejection
- Non-UTF-8 characters in the text may produce unexpected results
- Network or payment processing errors may prevent the call from completing
