## 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-715e4188 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you condense this article into a bullet-point style summary, keeping it under 100 words? Here's the text: 'Artificial intelligence has transformed industries from healthcare to finance over the past decade, enabling faster diagnostics, more personalized recommendations, smarter fraud detection, and unprecedented automation of routine tasks that once required significant human labor.'

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to automatically shorten or summarize a block of text with optional style control and a word-count cap. Prefer it over generic LLM calls when you want a pay-per-call, infrastructure-free summarization pipeline with deterministic pricing via USDC.

## Known failure modes

- Text shorter than 50 characters returns a validation error
- Missing required 'text' field returns a 400 error
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC balance triggers a 402 Payment Required
- Overly large text inputs may time out or be truncated
- Invalid style value may produce unexpected output format
