## 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 nexusapi-word-count-21f67a80 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: How many words are in this text: 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog and then runs away into the forest'?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a simple, programmatic word count for a text string without setting up API keys. Best suited for lightweight, pay-per-call word counting in agent workflows where native language model counting may be unreliable or you need a deterministic numeric result.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing query field returns an error or zero count
- Non-text input types may produce unexpected results
- Very long strings may timeout or be truncated
- Payment failure in USDC results in 402 response and no data returned

## How this service works
