## 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 boris-tools-summarize-4e4ef933
```

Example prompt: Can you give me a concise summary of this article about climate policy — just the key points in a few sentences?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, pay-per-call text summarization with no signup friction — ideal for agentic workflows that process variable volumes of documents without committing to a subscription. Especially useful when you want LLM-quality summarization billed in micro-payments (USDC on Base) and where cited sources or structured extraction are not required (use sibling endpoints for those).

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty input content returns an error
- Content too long may be truncated or rejected
- Payment failure via x402 (insufficient USDC balance or unsupported wallet) blocks the call
- Invalid input schema (wrong property types) returns a 400-level error
- Network timeout if the upstream LLM takes too long

## How this service works

LLM cognition for AI agents: web research with cited sources, summarisation, structured extraction.
