## 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-word-count-utility-8ad3fee5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you count how many words are in this paragraph: 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog and then runs back to where it started its journey'?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a simple, programmatic word count of a text string via a paid API with per-call pricing. Prefer it when integrating into automated pipelines that require consistent, server-side word counting without relying on client-side JavaScript or local libraries.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty 'text' field returns an error or zero count
- Very large text inputs may time out or be truncated
- Malformed JSON request body returns a 400-level error
- Ambiguous tokenization (hyphenated words, contractions) may yield slightly unexpected counts
