## 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 sku-normalize-utility-0a7df889 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you normalize this SKU string 'ABC--123_XL/Blue' into a clean, canonical format so it's consistent with the rest of our product catalog?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call SKU normalization utility without standing up your own string-processing infrastructure. Particularly useful in agentic pipelines where SKU data arrives in inconsistent formats from multiple sources and must be canonicalized before catalog matching, deduplication, or inventory updates.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty 'value' field returns an error or empty result
- Unsupported SKU formats may produce unexpected normalizations
- Invalid options object structure may cause a 400 error
- Service downtime on Render free tier may cause intermittent 502/503 errors
- Payment failure via x402 protocol will block the call before processing
