## 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 tempest-ai-content-engine-condense-2396dfae -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you condense this 800-word product review into a 75-word bullet-point style summary? Here's the text: [paste text here]

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a reliable, pay-per-call AI summarization service with style and length control, and you are operating in a USDC micropayment environment (x402 protocol). Ideal for agents that need on-demand summarization without managing LLM API keys or prompt engineering, and when you want a straightforward REST interface that returns a clean condensed output.

## Known failure modes

- Text shorter than 50 characters returns a validation error
- Overly aggressive max_length may truncate meaning or produce low-quality output
- Unsupported or ambiguous style values may produce unexpected formatting
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) causes a 402 response before processing
- Very long input texts may hit token limits and return an error or truncated result
