## 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 agent402-tools-pdf-info-20d8821a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check the metadata on this PDF — https://example.com/report.pdf — and tell me the page count, who created it, when it was made, whether it's encrypted, and how big the file is?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to quickly inspect a remote PDF's metadata (page count, author, dates, encryption status, file size) without downloading the entire document into your context. Ideal for pre-screening large PDFs, verifying document provenance, or checking authorship before processing.

## Known failure modes

- URL is not publicly accessible or returns non-200 — likely an HTTP error response
- URL does not point to a valid PDF — may return a parsing error
- PDF is behind authentication or a paywall — metadata extraction will fail
- Network timeout if the remote server is slow to respond
- Malformed URL input — validation error

## How this service works

Inspect a PDF without downloading the whole thing into your model: page count, title, author, subject, creator, producer, creation/modification dates, encryption flag, and byte size. Body: {"url":"https://…/file.pdf"}.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with page count, title, author, subject, creator, producer, creation date, modification date, encryption flag, and byte size of the PDF at the given URL — all without requiring a full download of the file.
