## 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 minia2a-language-detect-ab25b3ce
```

Example prompt: Can you detect what language this text is written in: 'Bonjour, comment allez-vous?'

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call language detection service without committing to a subscription, especially in agentic or automated pipelines that process sporadic or variable volumes of multilingual text. Prefer this over heavy NLP SDKs when you just need a language label without additional linguistic analysis.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing input text returns an error
- Very short or ambiguous text may result in low-confidence or incorrect detection
- Text with mixed languages may only detect the dominant language
- Non-text binary input may cause a parsing error
- Rate-limited or unpaid requests return a 402 Payment Required response
