> Oblique Markets Text Rewriter is a paid API for AI agents from api.oblique.markets, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Rewrites input text according to a natural-language instruction (e.g. change tone, formality, simplify, or shorten) using a deterministic flash-model with hard input/output caps

## 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 oblique-markets-text-rewriter-5e842786 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Rewrite the following paragraph to be more formal and concise — keep the key points but trim it down: 'Hey, just wanted to touch base and see if you guys had a chance to look at the proposal we sent over last week. We think it's a pretty solid deal and would love to get your thoughts!'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, deterministic, instruction-driven text rewriting with predictable cost ($0.005/call) and hard input/output limits. Ideal for agent workflows that need to adjust tone, formality, or length of text at scale without the overhead of a full LLM chat session. Prefer it over general-purpose LLM calls when you want a stateless, single-purpose rewrite operation with consistent latency.

## Known failure modes

- Input text exceeds hard character/token cap — returns error indicating input too long
- Instruction is ambiguous or contradictory — model may produce unexpected output
- Output exceeds hard output cap — response may be truncated
- Payment of $0.005 USDC not received — request rejected with payment-required error
- Empty or missing input text — returns validation error
- Malformed instruction string — may produce low-quality or no transformation

## How this service works

Use when an agent needs rewrite. Returns Rewrite text per a natural-language instruction (tone, formality, simplification, shortening) — deterministic flash-model rewriting with hard input/output caps. $0.005.

## Output

The rewritten version of the input text, transformed according to the provided natural-language instruction — adjusted for tone, formality, length, or simplicity as requested, with hard output length caps enforced by the flash model.
