How this service works
Bundled execution of the Document brief workflow - Metadata, an AI-written summary, and a preview of the opening pages of a PDF - understand what a document says without reading the whole thing. The catalog's first AI-summarization pack, complementary to document-intel's deterministic format extraction (no AI, no summarization there). One x402 payment runs 3 underlying tools (pdf-info, pdf-summarize, pdf-extract-pages); partial-success per step.
Output
Returns a JSON object with the original URL, step-by-step results from three pipeline stages (pdf-info for metadata, pdf-summarize for the full text summary, pdf-extract-pages for per-page content), and a summary string indicating how many steps succeeded (e.g. '3/3 steps succeeded').
Example use cases
Research paper quick digest
“I don't have time to read this full paper — can you summarize the PDF at https://arxiv.org/pdf/2301.07041.pdf and tell me what it's about?”
Legal document brief for review
“Pull up this contract PDF at https://example.com/contract.pdf and give me a structured brief of its main sections and what it covers.”
Financial report overview
“Summarize the annual report PDF at https://company.com/annual-report-2024.pdf so I can get the highlights before my meeting.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://agent402.tools/api/skill/document-briefWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, structured summary of a PDF document accessible via URL without any signup or API key — especially in agentic workflows where you want metadata, a full summary, and per-page extraction in a single pay-per-call request. Prefer it over generic LLM document loaders when you want multi-step pipeline results with explicit success/failure per stage and pay-as-you-go USDC billing via x402.
Side effects
- PDF URL is inaccessible or returns a non-200 response — step marked ok:false
- URL points to a non-PDF resource — parsing steps may fail
- Very large PDFs may time out or return partial results
- Password-protected or encrypted PDFs cannot be parsed
- Malformed URL input causes immediate rejection
