What it computes
Estimate the change in serum sodium after 1 L of a given infusate from Adrogué–Madias TBW fractions and infusate sodium plus potassium.
When to use
When an agent needs the published ΔNa-per-liter infusate arithmetic and must not invent a correction rate, infusion protocol, or TBW fraction.
When not to use
- Not a treatment order, infusion protocol, or correction-rate target. The result is the estimated change in serum Na after 1 L of the given infusate.
- Does not model ongoing urinary losses, SIADH, or the safe rate of correction.
- TBW fractions follow Adrogué and Madias 2000: children 0.6; adult male 0.6; adult female 0.5; elderly male 0.5; elderly female 0.45. The papers say elderly without an age cutoff; magent treats age ≥65 as elderly (implementation clamp). pediatric=true/false is required and is not inferred from age.
Formula
delta_na_mmol_l = (infusate_na_mmol_l + infusate_k_mmol_l - sodium_mmol_l) / (tbw_l + 1); tbw_l = tbw_fraction * weight_kg

Worked example
70 kg adult woman, Na 110, 1 L 3% saline (513 mmol/L)
Given:
age=40infusate_na_mmol_l=513pediatric=falsesex=femalesodium_mmol_l=110weight_kg=70
- TBW = 0.5 × 70 = 35 L (adult female fraction)
- ΔNa = (513 + 0 − 110) / (35 + 1) = 403 / 36 = 11.2 mmol/L
70 kg adult man, Na 160, 1 L 5% dextrose (0 mmol/L)
Given:
age=40infusate_na_mmol_l=0pediatric=falsesex=malesodium_mmol_l=160weight_kg=70
- TBW = 0.6 × 70 = 42 L (adult male fraction)
- ΔNa = (0 + 0 − 160) / (42 + 1) = −160 / 43 = −3.7 mmol/L

Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
sodium_mmol_l |
number | required | Measured serum sodium in mmol/L. Range 90-190. |
infusate_na_mmol_l |
number | required | Sodium concentration of 1 L of infusate in mmol/L (0-1000). Adrogué–Madias table examples: 5% dextrose 0; 0.9% NaCl 154; 3% NaCl 513. |
infusate_k_mmol_l |
number | optional | Potassium concentration of the same 1 L infusate in mmol/L (0-200). Omitted uses 0. Added to infusate sodium in the numerator. |
sex |
string | required · female, male | Sex used for adult and elderly TBW fractions. Ignored for the TBW fraction when pediatric=true (child fraction 0.6). |
age |
integer | required | Age in years. pediatric=false: integer 18-120; age ≥65 uses the elderly TBW fraction. pediatric=true: integer 0-17; TBW uses the child fraction 0.6. |
weight_kg |
number | optional | Weight in kilograms. Provide weight_kg or weight_lb. |
weight_lb |
number | optional | Weight in pounds. Converted as kg = lb * 0.45359237. |
pediatric |
boolean | required | true uses the child TBW fraction 0.6. false uses adult or elderly fractions from sex and age. Required; magent does not infer child vs adult from age. |
Bulk (POST)
POST the same path with a JSON items array. The first item is the GET unit; each additional item is $0.002. Invalid items return HTTP 400 before settlement.
- 1 to 25 items. Each item uses the same keys as the GET query parameters.
- POST of 1 item costs the same as GET. Lists longer than 25: chunk into multiple POSTs. Extra items still execute; do not pad dummy rows.
- The first invalid item fails the whole request (index in the 400 JSON). You are not charged.
- HTTP 200 is {count, path, items}. Each items[i] is the GET 200 body for that row.
- Catalog misses (empty matches, found=false) stay paid 200s inside that slot.
- x402 resource URL is this path plus n and body_sha256. Browsers that prefer text/html get the same paywall as GET; Pay retries POST with the same items.

Payment
Unpaid requests return HTTP 402 even if query parameters or POST items are missing or invalid, so CDP and agents can index the path. After a PAYMENT-SIGNATURE, invalid params return HTTP 400 JSON before settlement. magent does not charge. Fix the params, then request a new 402 quote for that complete URL. Catalog misses (empty matches, found=false) are valid paid 200s. Unpaid valid requests return HTTP 402 with a base64
PAYMENT-REQUIRED
header. HTTP 503 is not a new quote: retry the same PAYMENT-SIGNATURE. Full handshake
and shared payment errors: Payments.
Stdio MCP: /docs/mcp.
Guarantees
- HTTP 402 is unpaid, including a missing query. After PAYMENT-SIGNATURE, invalid parameters return HTTP 400 before settlement. You are not charged.
- exact: settlement finishes before the tool (paymentFlow upfront). batch-settlement: verify/deposit before the tool; chargedCumulativeAmount commits after HTTP 2xx. Uncertain or failed settlement fails closed (HTTP 503). Retry the same PAYMENT-SIGNATURE.
- HTTP 402 is unpaid only. Do not sign a second authorization because of a 503.
- Execution is timeout-bounded and concurrency-capped.
- Calculator inputs are stored encrypted for allowlisted operators (Magent Console). They are not in public logs, SSH lookups, catalog, or rollups. Request logs store path without query.
