## 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`):

zero fetch --capability tolca-tonbot-ca-text-summarizer-9f171e25 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you summarize this 5,000-word article into a tight 150-word summary in English? Here's the text: [article text]

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a faithful, length-controlled text summary with multilingual support (English and Quebec French), especially within an automated pipeline that handles payment via the x402 protocol. Ideal for single-document summarization tasks up to 40k characters where a specific word count target matters.

## Known failure modes

- Input text exceeds 40,000 character limit — request rejected
- max_words outside range 20–1000 — validation error
- Unsupported language value — enum validation failure
- Empty or missing text field — required field error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol — 402 response before processing
