## 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 tempest-ai-content-engine-clarify-b45d46df -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you simplify this insurance policy excerpt so it reads at about an 8th grade level? Here's the text: 'The indemnification clause herein shall be construed broadly to encompass all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to any breach of this Agreement.'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need AI-powered text simplification tuned to a specific reading level, especially for accessibility, education, or plain-language compliance use cases. It is purpose-built for clarification rather than general rewriting or translation, making it more targeted than a generic rewrite endpoint. Prefer it over full LLM calls when you want a pay-per-use, hosted solution without managing your own model infrastructure.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'text' field returns a validation error
- Extremely long text may exceed token limits and return an error or truncated result
- Invalid or unrecognized reading level value may fall back to a default or return an error
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) blocks the call before processing
- Network timeout on Vercel serverless cold start may cause occasional latency spikes
