## 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 hn-pulse-agentdiet-dev-web-url-context-trimmer-bm25-budget-distillation-af328173
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch https://stripe.com/docs/payments and distill it into clean markdown under 2000 tokens, focusing on payment intents?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to feed web content to an LLM but want to minimize token usage and cost — especially when the page is long, noisy, or only partially relevant. The BM25 budget mode is uniquely useful when you have a specific query and a strict token ceiling. Prefer this over raw fetch-and-pass when LLM context limits or cost matter, or when you need structured/skeleton extraction rather than raw HTML.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 status — endpoint may return an error status
- HTML content is too large or malformed — distillation may fail or return partial results
- mode=budget requires query and max_tokens — missing these may yield unfiltered output
- Payment/x402 failure — call may be rejected if billing is not set up correctly
- Rate limiting or timeout on slow-loading target URLs

## How this service works

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

## Output

Returns a distilled version of the webpage in the chosen format (Markdown, structured JSON, skeleton outline, or BM25 budget excerpt), plus ROI proof showing raw vs distilled token counts, compression ratio, tokens saved, and estimated LLM cost saved in USD. Also includes cache hit/miss status and billing details.
