## 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-prompt-compressor-with-bm25-budget-31d678f4
```

Example prompt: Fetch https://stripe.com/docs/payments and distill it into compact markdown using budget mode, focused on 'payment intents', keeping it under 300 tokens.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to read web content but context-window size or LLM token costs are a concern. It is especially valuable when you need BM25-focused excerpts around a specific query topic, or when you want structured tables and metadata extracted from HTML rather than raw page dumps. Prefer it over generic scraping tools when token efficiency and cost ROI reporting matter.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns non-200 — fetch fails with error status
- Raw HTML too large for processing — may timeout or truncate
- mode=budget without a query or max_tokens — falls back to default markdown behavior
- Invalid or malformed URL — returns validation error
- max_tokens set below minimum of 20 — rejected with schema validation error
- Payment not settled via x402 — 402 response blocking the call

## 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/prompt-compress)

## Output

Returns a distilled payload containing one of: clean markdown, structured JSON tables and metadata, a section skeleton outline, or a BM25-ranked excerpt trimmed to the token budget. Also includes ROI proof fields showing raw vs. distilled token counts, compression ratio, tokens saved, and estimated LLM cost saved in USD, plus optional cache hit/miss status and billing info.
