## 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 automaton-paid-api-text-summarizer-71b2c19c
```

Example prompt: Can you summarize this paragraph for me: 'Artificial intelligence has transformed numerous industries over the past decade, enabling automation of complex tasks, improving decision-making processes, and opening new avenues for scientific research. From healthcare diagnostics to financial modeling, AI systems now assist professionals in ways previously unimaginable.'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, faithful, length-constrained (≤100 words) summary of a short text passage (up to 2000 characters) via a simple GET request with micropayment via x402. It is ideal for agent workflows that need to summarize snippets, reviews, news passages, or clauses on-the-fly without managing a full NLP pipeline. Prefer it over general-purpose LLM summarization when a deterministic, paid, low-latency API call with JSON output is preferred for auditability or cost control.

## Known failure modes

- Text parameter missing or empty — likely returns a 400-level error
- Text exceeds 2000 characters — input validation failure
- Payment not processed correctly via x402 — returns 402 Payment Required
- Malformed URL encoding of the text parameter — parsing error
- Network timeout for very complex inputs — transient 5xx error

## How this service works

Summarize supplied text faithfully in at most 100 words and return JSON. Use when an agent needs concise compression of a document, article, log, or message of 1-2,000 characters.

## Output

A JSON object containing a faithful summary of the input text in at most 100 words, condensing the core meaning of the supplied text.
