Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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-997ae087 -d '<json body>'
```

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

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-use CRC16 checksum computation without running your own checksum library, particularly in lightweight agent workflows where installing a crypto/checksum dependency is impractical. At $0.002 USDC per call it is cost-effective for low-volume or one-off integrity checks.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty 'text' field in request body returns an error response
- Extremely large text payloads may be rejected or time out
- Malformed JSON input may cause a 400-level error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol will block the request before processing
