## 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 ssa-poms-section-full-text-api-60e3f6d7
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the full, verbatim text of POMS section SI 01110.200 — I need the complete SSA policy, not a summary, for an SSI income exclusions question.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the complete, authoritative, word-for-word text of a specific POMS section — not a summary or paraphrase. Prefer this over general SSA web searches when you already have a specific section ID (from the companion /search or /part endpoints) and need the full policy language for legal, compliance, appeals, or advisory purposes.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed section ID returns an error or empty result
- Section ID not URL-encoded (spaces not encoded) causes a 404 or routing failure
- Section ID not found in the POMS database returns a not-found error
- Payment failure (x402) prevents access to the endpoint
- Network timeout from Cloudflare Worker if the section is very large

## How this service works

Full text of one section of the SSA Program Operations Manual System (POMS). Get the id from GET /search?q=<keywords> or GET /part/:code. Use this when you need the complete, verbatim text of a specific POMS section for a disability, retirement, SSI, or Medicare question, not a summary.

## Output

The full verbatim text of the requested POMS section, including all policy language, subsections, examples, and operational instructions as published in the SSA Program Operations Manual System.
