# AgentDiet Markdown Distill — Context Window Compressor

> AgentDiet Markdown Distill — Context Window Compressor is a paid API for AI agents from status.agentdiet.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-22).

Fetches a URL and returns a heavily compressed, distilled Markdown version of the content to reduce token consumption in AI agent context windows

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-markdown-distill-context-window-compressor-4b96a840
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence and give me a distilled, token-efficient markdown version of it — I need to fit it in my context window without burning through tokens.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to read web content but must conserve context window tokens — especially useful in multi-step pipelines where many URLs need to be ingested. Prefer it over raw web scraping when token efficiency is the primary concern, or when feeding long-form articles, documentation, or product pages into an LLM with limited context. The pay-per-call USDC micropayment model makes it cost-effective at $0.001 per distillation.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error status
- URL behind authentication or paywalls may return incomplete content
- Very large pages may timeout or return partial content
- Non-HTML URLs (PDFs, binaries) may not compress meaningfully
- Missing required 'url' query parameter causes a validation error
- Payment failure via x402/USDC on Base blocks the request

## How this service works

Deterministic B2A/A2A/MCP/x402/MPP/L402 execution and intelligence node at https://status.agentdiet.dev settling in USDC on Base.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'data' field containing the distilled markdown content, a 'status' field ('ok'), and a 'roi_proof' object that includes a 'compression_ratio_pct' metric (e.g. 91.4%) showing how much the content was compressed relative to the original.
