## 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-cf058b36 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you format this Terraform HCL for me? Here's the raw config: resource "aws_instance" "example" {ami="ami-12345" instance_type="t2.micro"}

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call HCL formatting service without spinning up local tooling like 'terraform fmt'. Ideal for CI pipelines, agent workflows, or web apps that need to normalize Terraform config on the fly without local Terraform installation.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unparseable HCL input returns a non-success status
- Empty text input may return an empty result
- Extremely large HCL files may be truncated or rejected
- Malformed JSON in the request body causes a 400-level error
