## 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 x402-audit-agentdiet-dev-web-url-markdown-distillation-with-bm25-f84499cf
```

Example prompt: Distill https://stripe.com/docs/payments into compact markdown, using budget mode focused on 'payment intents' with a max of 500 tokens, so I can feed the key content into my agent without burning context.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to ingest web content within tight token constraints, especially when LLM context cost matters. It is particularly valuable for fetching documentation pages, product pages, or articles and reducing them to only the semantically relevant portion via BM25 focus. Prefer this over raw fetch-and-paste when token budget control, compression metrics, or structured extraction (tables, metadata) are needed alongside the content.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error status
- max_tokens below minimum of 20 causes validation error
- mode=budget without a query may return unfocused results
- Raw HTML too large may be truncated or rejected
- Rate limits or payment failures (HTTP 402) block the request
- Non-public or paywalled pages may return empty or partial content

## How this service works

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

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'data' field containing the distilled content (Markdown string, structured JSON tables/metadata, skeleton outline, or BM25-focused 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. Also includes optional cache hit/miss info and billing details.
