## 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 onchain-risk-agentdiet-dev-html-to-markdown-distiller-with-bm25-2ff6ccad -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Fetch https://stripe.com/docs/api and distill it into markdown using budget mode, focused on 'payment intents', keeping it under 2000 tokens so I can pass it to my LLM without blowing the context window.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to reduce the token footprint of web content before passing it to an LLM, especially when working with a strict context window budget. The BM25 budget mode is uniquely valuable when you want only the most query-relevant portions of a long document. Prefer this over generic scraping tools when you care about LLM cost savings and receive quantified compression ROI. Also suitable for converting raw HTML payloads you already have, without a network fetch.

## Known failure modes

- URL unreachable or returns non-200 — fetch failure with error status
- HTML or URL produces empty or unparseable content — empty distillation result
- max_tokens too small to contain meaningful content — truncated or error response
- mode=budget without a query provided — BM25 ranking cannot execute
- Invalid URL format — schema validation error
- Payment not provided or insufficient — HTTP 402 payment required

## How this service works

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

## Output

Returns distilled content (Markdown, structured JSON tables/metadata, skeleton outline, or BM25 budget excerpt) along with an ROI proof object showing raw token count, distilled token count, tokens saved, compression ratio percentage, LLM cost saved in USD, and ROI multiplier. Also includes cache status (HIT/MISS) and billing details.
