## 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 whatchuneed-paraphrase-api-270b9112 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you paraphrase this paragraph for me so it reads differently but keeps the same meaning: 'Our team is committed to delivering high-quality software solutions that meet customer expectations and drive business value.'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call paraphrase operation without committing to a full LLM subscription or managing API keys for a dedicated NLP service. It is well-suited for agents that occasionally need to rephrase text as part of a larger workflow, especially when cost predictability ($0.01 per call) matters more than volume discounts.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing 'input' field returns a validation error
- Input text that is too long may be truncated or rejected
- Non-text or malformed input may produce unexpected output
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 response before processing
- Ambiguous or highly technical input may yield poor-quality paraphrases
