## 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 phd-research-and-innovation-text-utility-slugify-8b4306e3
```

Example prompt: Can you slugify the text 'Hello World' so I can use it as a URL path segment?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call text slugification utility that returns a verifiable SHA-256 input hash alongside the slug, suitable for audit trails or deduplication. It is best suited for low-volume, on-demand slug generation where a hosted microservice is preferred over a local library.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty text input may return an error or empty slug
- Network timeouts on the Cloudflare Worker edge
- Payment not settled may return paid: false and block result delivery
- Invalid characters or extremely long strings may produce unexpected truncation

## How this service works

A focused research workspace for finding qualified websites and opening the linked research database for a selected subject.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with ok/paid/settled/delivered status flags, a slugified output string, a SHA-256 hash of the input (inputId), the operation name ('slugify'), and the byte length of the input. Also includes product metadata (id: 'utility.text', name: 'Text Utility') and provider info.
