## 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 url-normalize-utility-736044e7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you normalize this URL for me — 'HTTP://Example.COM:80/foo/../bar?b=2&a=1#section' — so it's in canonical form?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-use URL normalization utility without managing your own infrastructure. Ideal for AI agents that occasionally need to canonicalize URLs as part of a data pipeline, deduplication step, or link-cleaning workflow, especially when operating within an x402 micropayment context.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unparseable URL input returns an error result
- Missing 'value' field in request body causes a 400-level error
- Network timeout if the hosted service on Render is cold-starting
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks request before processing
- Unsupported URL schemes may return unexpected output

## How this service works

Machine-callable x402-paid utilities for autonomous agents.

## Output
