## 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 medapi-pubmed-article-summarizer-57e794f2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up PubMed article PMID 37845291 and give me an AI-generated summary with the key findings in plain language?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs a fast, AI-generated plain-language summary of a specific PubMed article identified by PMID — especially useful for researchers, clinicians, or non-specialists who want key findings without reading full papers. Prefer over raw PubMed API when summarization and synthesis are needed, not just retrieval.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent PMID returns success:false with no data
- PubMed API unavailability causes retrieval failure
- Article not publicly indexed or behind paywall may yield incomplete summary
- Malformed request missing required 'pmid' field returns error
- Payment failure via x402/USDC blocks request processing
