## 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-text-classification-api-7be9f721 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Classify this customer review as 'positive', 'negative', or 'neutral' using Nova: 'The product arrived on time but the packaging was completely crushed and one item was broken.'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a pay-per-call, USDC-on-Base text classification with customizable category labels and no subscription commitment. Ideal for agents that need to dynamically classify arbitrary text at low volume or on a sporadic basis without managing API keys or monthly plans.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'text' field returns validation error
- Empty or malformed categories array may produce undefined classification behavior
- Insufficient USDC balance triggers x402 payment required error
- Overly long text may exceed model context limits
- Invalid task string may default to generic classification or return error
