Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 slug-toolkit-03d616c0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Turn the title 'Über die Straße: A Guide to German Travel' into a URL slug using German locale transliteration, with underscores as the separator and strict mode on.

## When to prefer this

Choose Slug Toolkit when you need a reliable, configurable slugification service with locale-aware transliteration (e.g. German ö→oe, Swedish å→a) and fine-grained control over separator, case, strictness, and trimming — especially useful in multilingual CMS, e-commerce, or documentation pipelines where a simple regex replacement is insufficient.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or whitespace-only text returns a validation error (minLength:1 enforced)
- Text exceeding 4096 characters is rejected
- Invalid locale code may fall back to default transliteration or return an error
- Malformed request body (missing required fields: text, type, method, bodyType) returns a 400-level error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance returns a 402 error

## How this service works

Convert text into a URL-safe slug: transliterate accents, apply a locale character map, and join with a separator.

## Output

A URL-safe slug string derived from the input text, with non-alphanumeric characters replaced or dropped according to the configured separator, locale transliteration rules, case preference, strictness, and trim settings.
