## 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 terraform-hcl-formatter-light-4a8a0d64 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you format this Terraform HCL code for me so it's properly indented and consistent: 'resource "aws_instance" "example" {ami="ami-12345" instance_type="t2.micro"}'?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, low-cost ($0.002 per call) HCL formatting pass on Terraform configuration text. It is best suited for simple formatting and prettification tasks rather than full validation or linting. Prefer this over heavier infrastructure tools when you just need consistent indentation and style normalization on HCL snippets.

- Malformed JSON input may cause a 400-level error
