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 tempest-clarify-ai-text-simplification-endpoint-5e29eec8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you simplify this technical research abstract to a 6th grade reading level? Here's the text: 'Quantum entanglement facilitates non-local correlations between particles, enabling superdense coding protocols that surpass classical communication bounds.'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to lower the complexity or reading level of existing text for broader accessibility — for example, making medical, legal, technical, or corporate content understandable to general audiences, patients, students, or non-native speakers. It is distinct from general rewriting or translation endpoints because it specifically targets readability and comprehension level as its primary transformation goal.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'text' field returns a 400 validation error
- Empty or very short text may produce low-quality simplification output
- Unsupported or misspelled reading_level values may be ignored or cause unexpected output
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance returns a 402 Payment Required error
- Very long input text may be truncated or cause timeout errors
- Service may be unavailable if the Vercel deployment is down

## How this service works

Compose, rewrite, translate, and refine content at scale. 25 AI-powered endpoints. Pay-per-call with USDC on Tempo.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a success boolean and a data object containing the AI-simplified version of the input text, rewritten to match the specified reading level.
