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-calculator-c5087528 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the Levenshtein distance between 'kitten' and 'sitting'? I need the exact number of single-character edits required to transform one into the other.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, cheap ($0.002 per call), pay-per-use Levenshtein distance computation without standing up your own infrastructure. Suitable for fuzzy matching, spell-checking assistance, deduplication, or string comparison tasks where a simple edit-distance integer is sufficient.

## Known failure modes

- Missing one or both input strings — returns error or unexpected result
- Non-string inputs (e.g. numbers, null) may cause processing failure
- Extremely long strings may hit payload or timeout limits
- Invalid JSON body returns a 400-level error

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'result' field containing the computed Levenshtein edit distance (number of insertions, deletions, or substitutions needed to transform string A into string B) and a 'status' field confirming success.
