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-hmac-sha256-generator-7ccf2cde -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate an HMAC-SHA256 hash for the message 'order_id=12345&amount=99.99' using the secret key 'mysecretkey42'.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a simple, pay-per-use HMAC-SHA256 hash computed on-demand without setting up your own crypto library or server-side code. It is suitable for lightweight automation workflows, agent pipelines, and serverless scenarios where a quick cryptographic signing step is needed at minimal cost ($0.002 per call).

## Known failure modes

- Missing 'text' or 'secret' field returns an error response
- Empty string inputs may produce valid but meaningless hashes
- Invalid JSON body returns a 400-level error
- Overly large payloads may time out or be rejected
- Payment not processed may result in a 402 response blocking the computation
