## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, faithful condensation of a single block of text, especially when you want control over the output language or word count. It is ideal for agents processing articles, emails, documents, or any long-form text that needs to be digested rapidly. Prefer it over generic LLM summarization calls when you want a pay-per-use, hosted, cost-predictable service with a clean JSON response.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported or malformed language code returns an error or falls back to default
- Empty text input returns an error or empty summary
- Network timeout on very large inputs
