## 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 nova-ai-inference-text-classification-3144537f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Classify this customer review as 'positive', 'negative', or 'neutral' using Nova: 'The delivery was fast but the packaging was completely crushed.'

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call text classification API that accepts custom categories and returns structured labels — especially in agentic workflows where you want USDC micropayments on Base rather than subscription billing.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'text' field returns validation error
- Empty or null categories array may cause ambiguous classification
- Insufficient USDC balance triggers 402 payment required
- Overly long text may exceed model context limits
- Malformed JSON body returns 400 bad request
