## 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 x402broker-com-web-url-context-trimmer-distiller-127ed045
```

Example prompt: Distill the content at https://stripe.com/docs/payments into compact markdown, and keep it under 2000 tokens using budget mode with the query 'payment integration'.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to reduce token consumption from web content before passing it to an LLM — especially when working with large documentation pages, news articles, or any URL whose raw content would exceed your context window. It is particularly valuable when you have a specific query focus (BM25 mode) or need structured/skeleton extraction rather than raw text. Prefer it over generic web scrapers when token budget control and LLM cost savings are priorities.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error status
- max_tokens below minimum of 20 is rejected
- mode=budget without a query may return unfiltered or poor results
- Rate limiting or 402 payment failure if billing not configured
- Very large pages may still exceed budget if content is dense
- HTML-only input without url field requires html parameter to be populated

## How this service works

Distill a URL or raw HTML payload with BM25 budget control (Live x402 v2, IETF MPP & MCP endpoint at https://x402broker.com/v1/context-trimmer)

## Output

Returns a data object with distilled content in the requested format (markdown, structured JSON, skeleton, or BM25-focused excerpt), plus an roi_proof block showing raw_tokens, distilled_tokens, tokens_saved, compression_ratio_pct, and llm_cost_saved_usd; optionally includes cache hit/miss status and billing details.
