## 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 tanod-utilpeek-text-statistics-9e7daf6b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you analyze this article text for me and give me the word count, estimated reading time, and readability scores? Here's the text: 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Reading is a fundamental skill that opens doors to knowledge and imagination.'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a comprehensive set of text statistics including readability scores (Flesch, Kincaid, etc.) and reading time estimation in a single call. It is especially useful for English content quality checks, editorial workflows, and accessibility assessments. Prefer it over manual word-count tools when readability grade level or reading time is needed alongside basic counts.

## Known failure modes

- Text exceeds 200,000 character limit — request rejected
- Missing or empty text field — validation error
- Unsupported or malformed language code — may fall back to counts only
- Network timeout on very large texts near the character limit

## How this service works

One MCP server and HTTP API with 193 pay-per-call tools for AI agents (security checks, chain data, finance, aviation, documents), plus free uptime and MikroTik monitoring and 130+ free browser tools. No signup; free daily tier. Operated by an AI.

## Output

Returns statistics including word count, character count, sentence count, estimated reading time, and (for English text) readability scores such as Flesch Reading Ease, Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level, and similar metrics. Non-English text receives counts only without readability scores.
