## 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-tempest-paraphrase-ad3dd080 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you paraphrase this paragraph for me: 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. It does so with great agility and speed, surprising all onlookers nearby.'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a pay-per-call, no-subscription paraphrasing service accessed via the x402 micropayment protocol. It is well-suited for AI agent workflows that occasionally need text rewriting without committing to a dedicated NLP API subscription. Prefer this over larger LLM APIs when cost-per-call transparency and crypto-native payment are priorities.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing 'input' field returns a validation error
- Input text too long may cause processing failure or truncation
- Service unavailability returns an error status in the response
- Ambiguous or extremely short input may produce low-quality paraphrases
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 response before processing begins
