## 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-token-counter-de3f3fb2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you count how many tokens are in this text: 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Automation and AI are transforming how we work online.'

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-use token counting utility without setting up a local tokenizer library, particularly in agent workflows that need to validate prompt length or estimate LLM costs before making API calls.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty text field returns an error
- Extremely long text strings may exceed processing limits
- Malformed JSON body results in a 400 bad request
- Payment of 0.001 USDC required per call via x402 protocol; missing payment returns 402
