## 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-character-counter-c4b8bbe8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you count how many characters are in this text: 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog'?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a simple, cheap, programmatic character count for any text string — particularly useful in automated workflows for validating content length before posting to platforms with character limits (Twitter/X, SMS, etc.). At $0.002 per call it is cost-effective for high-volume validation pipelines.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty 'text' field returns an error response
- Very large text inputs may exceed payload limits
- Malformed JSON body results in a 400-level error
- Network timeout for extremely long strings
