## 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 pii-detector-api-klymax402-com-b05c8e5f
```

Example prompt: Can you scan this text for any personally identifiable information: 'John Smith called us from 555-867-5309 and his email is john.smith@email.com, SSN 123-45-6789'?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to scan arbitrary text for PII before storing, sharing, or processing it — especially for compliance workflows (GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA), data anonymization pipelines, or user-generated content moderation. Prefer this over general-purpose LLMs when you need a dedicated, cost-predictable, deterministic PII detection service.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing text parameter returns an error
- Extremely long text may time out or be truncated
- Text in unsupported languages may yield missed PII
- Ambiguous or obfuscated PII may not be detected
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402
