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-levenshtein-distance-api-a829aa66 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What is the Levenshtein distance between 'kitten' and 'sitting'?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call Levenshtein distance computation without setting up your own string-distance library — ideal for agents doing one-off comparisons, spell-check validation, fuzzy deduplication, or NLP preprocessing where a full similarity service is overkill.

## Known failure modes

- Missing text_a or text_b fields returns an error
- Extremely long strings may cause slow response or timeout
- Non-string input types may be rejected or cause unexpected results
- Empty string inputs may return a distance equal to the length of the other string rather than an error
