| `formats` | no | Comma-separated subset of markdown,text,links (default markdown) — e.g. `markdown` |
| `only_main_content` | no | Render only the main content region of each page (default true) — e.g. `true` |
| `dry_run` | no | Read a zero-credit estimate without fetching sources, running AI, or reserving credits. Cache status is a snapshot, not a guarantee at execution. — e.g. `1` |

**Cost:** 3 credits at list price per successful uncached response; variable-cost operations may quote or settle a different charge. Confirmed uncharged or refunded failures report zero. Pending reconciliation can report credits_used:null; retain request_id and the original idempotency key.
