## 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 whatchuneed-summarize-4373c772 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you summarize this long article for me? Here it is: 'The global economy has been undergoing significant structural changes over the past decade, driven by technological disruption, shifting trade patterns, demographic transitions, and the accelerating impacts of climate change...'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call text summarization without committing to a full LLM subscription or managing your own summarization pipeline. Ideal for agents that occasionally need to condense documents, articles, or long-form text as part of a broader workflow and want a simple one-field POST interface priced at $0.03 USDC per call.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty 'input' field returns a validation error
- Input text too long may cause truncation or failure
- Ambiguous or malformed input may produce a low-quality summary
- Network timeout on large inputs
- Payment failure via x402 protocol if insufficient USDC balance
