## 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 slinkeylayer-text-anonymization-1ee7d2a9 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you anonymize this text for me and redact any PII like names, emails, and phone numbers — use the Azure provider: 'Hello, my name is John Smith, my email is john.smith@example.com and my phone is 555-123-4567.'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically redact PII from arbitrary text before storing, sharing, or processing it — especially when Azure-backed NLP entity recognition is preferred. It is well-suited for compliance workflows (GDPR, HIPAA), pre-processing pipelines before LLM ingestion, or sanitizing user-generated content. Prefer it over a custom regex approach when you need reliable named-entity-based redaction across multiple PII categories.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing proxy ID returns 404 or routing error
- Malformed JSON body returns 400 bad request
- Unsupported provider name returns validation error
- Empty or null text field may return error or pass-through
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded returns 429
- Azure backend unavailability causes 502/503

## How this service works

Accepts JSON input and anonymizes sensitive information in the provided text using the selected provider (Azure or others).

## Output

Returns the input text with sensitive entities replaced by anonymized placeholders or tokens, along with metadata about which PII categories were detected and redacted (e.g. names, emails, phone numbers, addresses).
