Best suited for lightweight, one-off extraction tasks where the input can be expressed as a single string.

## Known failure modes

- Missing 'input' field returns validation error
- Empty string input may return empty or null result
- Ambiguous or unstructured input may produce incomplete extraction
- Malformed JSON request body causes 400 error
- Service unavailability returns 5xx error
