## 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 ysaere-quick-brief-4d14c078 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Give me a quick intel brief on Anduril Industries, focused on their funding and contracts — I need the triage summary before a call this afternoon.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a rapid, synthesized intelligence brief on a company, person, protocol, or market segment and do not require inline citations or deep sourcing. It is faster and cheaper than the Ysaere sourced brief endpoint, making it ideal for triage, pre-meeting prep, or quick background checks where speed matters more than traceable references.

## Known failure modes

- Target string missing or too short — 400 validation error
- Focus or context exceeds character limits — 400 validation error
- Insufficient USDC payment or payment not received — 402 payment required
- Target is too vague or ambiguous for a meaningful brief — may return generic or low-confidence output
- Service unavailable or timeout — 5xx error
