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-web-article-distiller-with-bm25-budget-control-37dbb5e0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Fetch the article at https://www.reuters.com/technology/ai-news-2025 and distill it into markdown, keeping it under 800 tokens focused on the topic 'AI regulation' using budget mode.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to feed web content to an LLM but want to minimize token consumption and cost. It is especially valuable in agentic pipelines where many URLs must be processed cheaply, or when you need BM25-ranked relevance filtering to extract only the content most pertinent to a specific query within a strict token ceiling. Prefer it over raw fetch+parse when compression ratio and ROI tracking matter, or when you need structured JSON/skeleton modes rather than raw HTML.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns non-200 HTTP status — endpoint may return an error status
- HTML payload is empty or malformed — distillation may return empty or degraded output
- max_tokens set below meaningful threshold (minimum 20) — schema validation error
- BM25 query missing when mode=budget — query field required for budget mode ranking
- Payment fails via x402 micropayment protocol — request blocked before processing
- Rate limit or timeout on remote URL fetch — latency-sensitive pages may fail

## 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/article-extractor)

## 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, and llm_cost_saved_usd. Also includes optional cache hit/miss status and billing details.
