# AgentDiet Context Diet — BM25 Budget-Controlled Web Distillation

> AgentDiet Context Diet — BM25 Budget-Controlled Web Distillation is a paid API for AI agents from alpha-stream.agentdiet.dev, paid per call via MPP, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-23).

Fetches a URL or processes raw HTML and distills it into compact, agent-ready tokens using BM25-ranked budget control to maximize information density within a token ceiling.

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 alpha-stream-agentdiet-dev-agentdiet-context-diet-bm25-budget-7f452046 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Distill https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout into compact markdown using budget mode, focused on the query 'payment intent flow', with a max of 500 tokens.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to feed web content to an LLM but want to minimize token consumption and cost, especially when you have a strict context window budget or a specific query focus. It excels over generic scrapers when you need BM25-ranked relevance filtering (budget mode) rather than full-page extraction. Prefer it over raw fetch-and-summarize approaches when ROI metrics (tokens saved, compression ratio) matter for agent cost accounting. Best for agentic pipelines that process many URLs and need predictable, bounded token output.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 status — endpoint may return an error status
- HTML payload is malformed or empty — distillation returns minimal or empty data field
- max_tokens set too low (below 20) — rejected by schema validation
- mode=budget used without a query parameter — BM25 ranking has no focus signal
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 — 402 response with payment required details
- Idempotency-Key collision across different request bodies — may return cached result unexpectedly

## How this service works

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

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'data' field containing the distilled content (Markdown, structured JSON, skeleton outline, or BM25 excerpt depending on mode), plus an 'roi_proof' object showing raw_tokens, distilled_tokens, tokens_saved, compression_ratio_pct, roi_multiplier, and llm_cost_saved_usd. Also includes cache hit/miss status and billing details.
