## 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-metaphone-encoder-5271f819 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you get the Metaphone phonetic code for the word 'Thompson' so I can use it for sound-alike name matching?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, inexpensive per-call Metaphone phonetic encoding with micropayment billing via x402. Useful when your agent pipeline needs on-demand phonetic normalization without setting up your own NLP stack. Best for single-string encoding use cases rather than bulk batch processing.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing 'text' field returns an error or empty result
- Non-string input types may cause processing failure
- Very long strings may behave unexpectedly depending on implementation
- Non-Latin characters may not be handled correctly by the Metaphone algorithm
- Network or payment authorization failure returns a 402 or 5xx error
