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 sec-intel-agentdiet-dev-semantic-html-pruner-web-url-distiller-b9119220
```

Example prompt: Distill https://stripe.com/docs/payments into compact markdown tokens using budget mode, focusing on 'payment intent creation', with a max of 1000 tokens.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to read web content within a strict token budget before passing it to an LLM, or when you want to reduce LLM API costs by compressing HTML boilerplate away. It is especially useful for agent pipelines that must stay within context windows, for extracting structured data or tables from web pages, or for quickly getting a skeleton outline of a page's structure. Prefer it over raw fetch+parse when you need BM25 relevance filtering or when ROI tracking on token savings matters.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns non-200 HTTP status — endpoint may return an error status
- URL points to a non-HTML resource (PDF, binary) that cannot be pruned — may return empty or error data
- max_tokens set too low (below 20) — rejected by schema validation
- BM25 query missing when mode=budget — may return unfiltered or error result
- Raw HTML string too large — possible timeout or truncation
- Payment not processed (x402 flow failure) — request rejected before processing

## How this service works

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

## Output

Returns a 'data' object containing distilled content in the requested format (Markdown text, structured JSON tables/metadata, skeleton outline, or BM25-scored excerpt), along with an ROI proof object showing raw vs distilled token counts, compression ratio, tokens saved, and estimated LLM cost saved in USD. Also includes optional cache hit/miss status and billing details.
