## 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 yruz-ascii-converter-96fa2688 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you encode the text 'Hello World' into ASCII using the YRUZ ASCII converter tool?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a simple, pay-per-call ASCII encoding or decoding operation without setting up a local library. Useful in agentic workflows that require lightweight text transformation as a service, especially when operating in environments where installing character-encoding libraries is not feasible.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'text' field returns an error or empty result
- Invalid 'mode' value may default to 'encode' or return an error
- Empty string input may return an empty result object
- Service unavailability returns a non-200 HTTP response
- Payment failure (x402) prevents the call from completing
