## 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-damerau-levenshtein-scorer-4a110c0a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the Damerau-Levenshtein similarity score between 'recieve' and 'receive'? I want to know how close these two spellings are.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a transposition-aware edit-distance metric (Damerau-Levenshtein, not plain Levenshtein) for tasks like spell correction, fuzzy deduplication, or near-match ranking. Prefer it over plain Levenshtein when adjacent character transpositions (e.g. 'teh' vs 'the') should count as a single edit. It is a low-cost, low-latency per-call scorer suitable for real-time pipelines.

## Known failure modes

- Missing text_a or text_b fields returns an error
- Empty string inputs may return a zero-distance or edge-case result
- Very long strings may increase latency or hit limits
- Malformed JSON body results in a 400-level error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks the request
