Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 agentdiet-dev-webpage-distiller-with-bm25-budget-control-3906b04b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Fetch https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-intents and distill it in budget mode focused on the query 'webhook event handling', keeping it under 800 tokens.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to consume web content that would otherwise overflow its context window, or when you need BM25-ranked relevance filtering to extract only the portions of a page relevant to a specific query. It is especially valuable over raw fetch-and-pass approaches when token cost and context efficiency matter. Prefer the budget mode for precise token-ceiling enforcement, structured mode when you need tabular or metadata extraction, and skeleton mode for fast triage of long documents.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns non-200 status — fetch failure error
- HTML payload is empty or malformed — parse error
- max_tokens set too low (below 20) — validation error rejected by schema
- mode=budget used without a query field — may return unguided excerpt
- Rate limit or payment failure via x402 — 402 Payment Required response
- Target site blocks crawlers — may return empty or partial content

## How this service works

Distill a URL or raw HTML payload with BM25 budget control (Live x402 v2, IETF MPP & MCP endpoint at https://agentdiet.dev/v1/webpage-distiller)

## Output

Returns a 'data' object containing the distilled content (Markdown text, structured JSON tables/metadata, skeleton outline, or BM25-ranked excerpt), alongside an ROI proof block showing raw token count, distilled token count, tokens saved, compression ratio percentage, and estimated LLM cost saved in USD. Also includes cache status (HIT/MISS) and billing details.
