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 mesh-agentdiet-dev-agentdiet-clean-html-bm25-budget-web-distiller-514daf51 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Distill the content at https://stripe.com/docs/api into clean Markdown with a strict budget of 2000 tokens, focusing on the query 'authentication and API keys' using budget mode.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to ingest web page content without wasting context-window tokens on boilerplate HTML, navigation, or ads. It is especially valuable when you need BM25-ranked budget control to stay within a strict token ceiling, or when you want structured JSON extraction rather than raw HTML. Prefer it over generic scrapers when LLM cost reduction and ROI tracking (compression ratio, tokens saved) matter to your workflow.

## Known failure modes

- URL unreachable or returns non-200 status — endpoint cannot fetch and distill the target
- Invalid or missing 'url' field — required parameter not provided
- max_tokens below minimum of 20 — budget ceiling too low
- mode=budget used without a 'query' parameter — BM25 ranking has no focus term
- Raw HTML too large or malformed — distillation may fail or truncate
- Payment not included or insufficient — x402 payment required at $0.001 per call
- Idempotency key reuse with different parameters — may return cached result unexpectedly

## How this service works

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

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'data' field containing the distilled content (Markdown string, structured JSON, skeleton outline, or BM25-ranked excerpt depending on mode), plus an 'roi_proof' object showing raw_tokens, distilled_tokens, tokens_saved, compression_ratio_pct, roi_multiplier, and llm_cost_saved_usd, along with optional billing and cache metadata.
