## 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 fda-iom-full-section-text-api-8edd7370
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the complete, verbatim text of FDA IOM section chapter-05--5-1-1 so I can review the exact inspection guidance before our facility audit?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the exact, verbatim regulatory text of a specific FDA IOM section — particularly for compliance documentation, legal citation, audit preparation, or inspection readiness where summaries are insufficient and precision matters. Prefer this over search endpoints after you already have the section ID, and over summary-based tools when the full official language is required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown section ID returns a 404 or error response
- Section ID formatted incorrectly (e.g. missing hyphens) causes lookup failure
- Network or worker timeout on large section text
- Payment not processed (402) if x402 protocol not handled correctly

## How this service works

Full text of one section of the FDA Investigations Operations Manual (IOM). Get the id from GET /search?q=<keywords> or GET /chapter/:id. Use this when you need the complete, verbatim text of a specific IOM section for inspection-readiness or regulatory research, not a summary.

## Output

The complete, unabridged verbatim text of the specified FDA Investigations Operations Manual section, including all subsections, procedural guidance, and regulatory language exactly as published in the official IOM document.
