## 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-prompt-compressor-7234af1b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you compress this prompt for me so it uses fewer tokens? Here it is: 'You are a helpful assistant specialized in financial planning. Your job is to help users create budgets, understand expenses, and plan for retirement. Always be empathetic, clear, and avoid jargon.'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call prompt compression utility that costs $0.002 USDC per call and is accessible over x402. Suitable for agents that need to reduce token usage on-the-fly before forwarding prompts to expensive LLMs. Not ideal when you need verified compression ratios, structured explanations of what was removed, or high reliability SLAs.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing 'text' field returns an error or unprocessed result
- Extremely long inputs may be truncated or fail silently
- Response schema is minimal — no token count or compression ratio returned, making it hard to verify savings
- Generic success response may not distinguish between actual compression and passthrough
- Service uptime uncertain given low crawl quality score and blog-adjacent domain
