## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability legal-clause-extractor-b369fbcf -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you extract all the structured clauses from this vendor contract PDF — I need to see each clause type and its content broken out clearly?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically decompose a contract or legal document into discrete, labeled clauses. It is ideal for due diligence workflows, contract review automation, or compliance audits where structured clause-level data is required. Prefer this over general-purpose PDF extraction when the document is explicitly legal or contractual in nature and you need clause-level granularity.

## Known failure modes

- Malformed or password-protected PDF may fail to parse
- Plain text input that lacks clear clause structure may produce incomplete results
- Very large documents may exceed processing limits
- Unsupported file format returns an error
- Network or worker timeout for large PDFs

## How this service works

Extract structured clause data from a legal/contract document (PDF or plain text).

## Output

A structured breakdown of clauses found in the legal document, including clause types and their textual content extracted from the provided PDF or plain text input
