## 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 cve-intel-agentdiet-dev-web-url-html-distillation-with-bm25-budget-14b696aa
```

Example prompt: Distill https://stripe.com/docs/api into compact markdown using budget mode with a focus query on 'payment intents' and a max of 500 tokens so I can feed it to my LLM without blowing my context window.

## 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 working with long documentation pages, article archives, or HTML payloads where only the relevant sections matter. The BM25 budget mode is particularly powerful when you have a specific focus query and a hard token ceiling. Prefer this over raw web scraping when you need agent-ready, pre-compressed output rather than raw HTML.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns non-200 HTTP status — endpoint may return an error status
- HTML payload too large to process within service limits
- Invalid or missing 'url' parameter causes 400-level error
- mode=budget without a 'query' parameter may produce suboptimal excerpts
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks request execution
- Token budget ceiling too low (below minimum 20) causes validation error

## How this service works

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

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the distilled content (markdown text, structured JSON tables/metadata, skeleton outline, or BM25-focused excerpt depending on mode), along with ROI proof metrics including raw vs distilled token counts, tokens saved, compression ratio percentage, estimated LLM cost saved in USD, and optional billing and cache status fields.
