## 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 nock-action-extractor-cc65b5b8 -d '<json body>'
```

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to extract a single, concrete next action or task from unstructured text such as emails, meeting notes, Slack threads, or conversation transcripts. It is optimized for productivity and task management workflows where brevity and clarity of output matter. Prefer this over general summarization endpoints when you specifically need an actionable step, not a summary.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty 'text' field returns an error or empty action
- Ambiguous text with no clear action may produce a vague or generic result
- Very long text may be truncated or produce less precise extraction
- Non-English input may yield unpredictable results if not supported
