# Web URL to Agent-Ready Markdown Distiller

> Web URL to Agent-Ready Markdown Distiller 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 URL or raw HTML and distills it into compact, token-efficient markdown, structured JSON, skeleton outlines, or BM25-focused budget excerpts

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-web-url-to-agent-ready-markdown-distiller-0ac7f956
```

Example prompt: Distill the Stripe pricing page at https://stripe.com/pricing into compact markdown, keeping it under 500 tokens and focusing on anything related to payment fees.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to feed webpage content to an LLM but want to minimize token usage and cost — especially when working with long documentation pages, product catalogs, or research articles. Prefer it over raw fetch when token budget matters, when you want structured or skeleton output rather than raw HTML, or when you need a BM25-ranked excerpt focused on a specific query. It is particularly useful for agent pipelines that need to ground responses in live web content without blowing context windows.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns non-200 status — endpoint may return error status
- URL points to binary/non-HTML content (e.g. PDF without html param) — extraction may fail or return empty data
- max_tokens set below 20 — request rejected due to minimum constraint
- mode=budget without a query param — BM25 scoring has no focus signal, may return degraded results
- Rate limits or payment failures via x402 — billing errors return without data
- Very large pages may exceed processing limits even with token budget set

## 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/pdf-extract)

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: a 'data' field with the distilled content (markdown string, structured JSON tables/metadata, skeleton outline, or BM25-focused budget excerpt depending on mode); an 'roi_proof' object showing raw vs distilled token counts, tokens saved, compression ratio percentage, ROI multiplier, and estimated LLM cost saved in USD; a 'cache' object indicating HIT/MISS status and latency; and a 'billing' object with fee charged and payment method.
