# AgentDiet Semantic HTML Pruner

> AgentDiet Semantic HTML Pruner is a paid API for AI agents from mcp-security.agentdiet.dev, paid per call via MPP, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-21).

Fetches a webpage URL (or processes raw HTML) and distills it into compact, agent-ready tokens using BM25 budget control and multiple extraction modes

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 mcp-security-agentdiet-dev-agentdiet-semantic-html-pruner-97fd2158
```

Example prompt: Distill https://stripe.com/docs/payments into compact markdown, keeping it under 1000 tokens and focusing on 'payment intents setup' so I can fit it into my context window.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to consume web page content but must stay within strict token budgets — especially for documentation sites, research pages, or competitor pages where bloated HTML would waste LLM context. The BM25 budget mode makes it uniquely useful when you want to focus distillation on a specific query topic. Prefer it over generic scrapers when token savings and cost reduction are priorities, or when you need structured table/metadata extraction rather than raw HTML.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error status
- Missing required 'url' parameter causes request rejection
- mode=budget without a 'query' field may return unfiltered content
- max_tokens set below minimum of 20 is rejected
- Rate limiting or 402 payment required if billing credentials are absent or insufficient
- Paywalled or JavaScript-heavy pages may yield incomplete distillation
- Raw HTML supplied with a live URL simultaneously may cause ambiguous behavior

## How this service works

Distill a URL or raw HTML payload with BM25 budget control (Live x402 v2, IETF MPP & MCP endpoint at https://mcp-security.agentdiet.dev/v1/semantic-html-pruner)

## Output

Returns a status field, distilled content in the requested format (Markdown, structured JSON tables/metadata, skeleton outline, or BM25-focused excerpt), cache hit/miss info, billing details, and an ROI proof object showing raw vs. distilled token counts, tokens saved, compression ratio percentage, ROI multiplier, and estimated LLM cost saved in USD.
