## 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 text-summarizer-agent-877e0b2d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you summarize this markdown article into bullet points in about 80 words, and let me know what got left out? Here's the text: [paste content here]

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to compress or distill text, Markdown, or JSON content into a concise, structured summary within an agent or document pipeline. It is particularly well-suited when you need fine-grained control over output format (prose vs bullets vs headline vs TLDR) or need to hit an exact word count target. Prefer it over general-purpose LLM calls when you want a lightweight, pay-per-call summarization step that handles multiple input types natively and can annotate omissions.

## Known failure modes

- Input exceeds 100KB limit — request rejected
- Invalid format enum value — defaults may not apply as expected
- target_words out of range (must be 1–500) — validation error
- Empty or malformed input string — may return empty or error response
- JSON input_type mismatch with non-JSON input — may produce garbled output
- Payment failure via x402 protocol — 402 response, no summary returned

## How this service works

Summarize and compress text, Markdown, or JSON into a structured summary. Output as prose, bullets, headline, or TLDR, with optional exact target word count. Built for agent and document pipelines.

## Output

Returns a structured summary of the input content in the requested format (prose, bullets, headline, or TLDR). When target_words is specified, the summary aims for that exact word count (1–500); otherwise it follows the brief/medium/detailed length preset. If explain is true, the response also includes notes describing what was omitted from the original content.
