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 onchain-risk-agentdiet-dev-html-to-markdown-web-distiller-with-bm25-945e9877
```

Example prompt: Fetch the URL https://stripe.com/docs/api and distill it into compact markdown using budget mode with a max of 2000 tokens, focused on the query 'payment intents'.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to feed web content to an LLM efficiently and want to minimize token consumption and cost. It is especially valuable when working with long documentation pages, SEC filings, or any HTML-heavy source where only a focused excerpt is needed (use budget+BM25 mode). Prefer it over raw web scrapers when you need token-count guarantees, ROI tracking, or multiple output formats (markdown, structured, skeleton) from the same service.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 response — endpoint may return an error status
- Invalid or malformed URL causes a fetch failure
- mode=budget requested without a query or max_tokens — may fall back to defaults
- HTML payload too large causing timeout or truncation
- Payment not processed via x402 — request may be rejected with HTTP 402
- Requested URL blocks bots or requires authentication — content may be empty or partial

## 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 a 'data' object containing the distilled content in the requested format (Markdown, structured JSON tables/metadata, skeleton outline, or BM25-focused excerpt), alongside an ROI proof block showing raw token count, distilled token count, tokens saved, compression ratio percentage, and estimated LLM cost saved in USD. Also includes cache status and billing metadata.
