## 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 strale-csv-cleaner-d5b97316
```

Example prompt: Can you clean up this messy CSV for me? It has inconsistent quoting and some broken rows: 'name,age,city
"Alice",30,"New York
Bob,"25,Chicago
Carol,28,"Los Angeles"'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-use CSV cleaning call with a built-in cryptographic audit trail — especially useful in automated pipelines where traceability and trust matter. Prefer it over local parsing libraries when you need a hosted, accountable transformation step, or when operating in an x402 micropayment-enabled agent workflow.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty csv query parameter — returns validation error
- Input is not recognizable as CSV (e.g. binary data, pure JSON) — may return error or unexpected output
- Extremely large CSV strings may exceed URL length limits for GET requests
- Network timeout if the service is under load
- 402 Payment Required if USDC micropayment is not properly configured

## How this service works

## Output

Returns a cleaned, normalized CSV string with consistent quoting, proper escaping, and fixed structural issues. Each call also returns a cryptographic audit record with chain hashing for traceability and trust verification.
