## 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 foundry-text-url-summarizer-f06f019b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you summarize this article for me — just a one-liner and the key bullet points? Here's the URL: https://techcrunch.com/2024/01/15/openai-raises-new-funding-round/

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, structured two-part summary (headline sentence + bullet points) of either raw text or a live web page URL, especially within an agentic workflow that requires digestible output without running a full LLM pipeline yourself. It is well-suited for quickly briefing users on articles, reports, or documents without building a custom summarization stack.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns an error (e.g. 404, blocked robots.txt) — endpoint may return an error or empty result
- Text exceeds 8,000 character limit — request rejected or truncated
- URL points to non-text content (e.g. PDF, image, video) — may fail to extract readable text
- Paywalled or login-gated URL — content may not be accessible for summarization
- Empty or near-empty input — output may be trivial or unhelpful
