## 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 x402-gateway-document-to-markdown-6cc1a343 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you convert this PDF report into clean Markdown so I can use it in my documentation site? Use the document_to_markdown tool on the x402 bazaar gateway.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically convert documents (PDF, DOCX, HTML) into Markdown in an agentic pipeline and are comfortable with per-call micropayments via the x402 protocol. Prefer this over manual conversion or heavy OCR pipelines for lightweight document-to-markdown needs.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported document format returns an error
- Payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient (402 response)
- Malformed or corrupted document may yield incomplete markdown
- Large documents may time out or be truncated
- Missing or invalid 'tool' parameter returns a validation error
