## 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 quartermaster-tl-dr-raw-text-summarizer-109a3520
```

Example prompt: Give me a short TL;DR of this text: 'The Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points today, citing persistent inflation concerns despite recent cooling in consumer prices. Officials signaled that further hikes remain possible depending on incoming data, though markets interpreted the statement as a dovish pivot...'

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have raw text content in hand (not a URL) and need an AI-generated summary at a controlled length. Choose this over the /v1/summarize sibling when the source is already extracted text rather than a URL to fetch. Ideal for summarizing pasted articles, documents, transcripts, or any block of text up to 16,000 characters.

## Known failure modes

- Text exceeds 16,000 character limit — request is rejected
- Missing required 'text' query parameter — returns 400 error
- Invalid 'length' enum value — may default to 'short' or return validation error
- Payment not provided or insufficient — x402 payment required at $0.005 USDC
- Empty string passed as text — may return empty or trivial summary
- AI model timeout or upstream failure — 5xx error returned

## How this service works

AI TL;DR of raw text passed in directly (not a URL): short, medium, or long. The text-in sibling of /v1/summarize.

## Output

An AI-generated summary of the provided text at the requested length (short, medium, or long), returned as a condensed textual digest capturing the key points.
