## 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 ai-pin-agentic-research-ai-research-summaries-618690d7
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up an AI research summary on transformer architectures for me — just the paper title and abstract?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs a fast, cheap ($0.03 USDC) structured research summary (title + abstract) on an AI topic, and does not need full paper text, citations, or real-time search across multiple databases. Ideal for quick briefings, agent self-enrichment, or literature bootstrapping in AI/ML domains.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC — returns 402 Payment Required
- Invalid or missing query parameter — may return empty or error response
- Topic too broad or unrecognized — may return a generic or low-relevance abstract
- Service unavailability — may return 5xx error with no paper or abstract
