Not a medical device. Not a diagnosis, dose, or listing recommendation.

What it computes

Sum Guy 1976 AIMS movement items 1-7 (each caller-assigned integer 0-4) and return the dyskinesia total (max 28). Overall severity, incapacitation, awareness, dental problems, and dentures are recorded only.

When to use

When an agent already has Guy 1976 AIMS item integers and dental flags and needs the published dyskinesia total. magent does not examine the patient, diagnose tardive dyskinesia, subtract for activation-only movements, or apply Schooler-Kane criteria.

When not to use

• Not a medical device. magent does not examine the patient. Each item is a caller-assigned Guy 1976 integer or yes/no.
• Not a diagnosis of tardive dyskinesia. Guy 1976 published no total-score TD cutoffs. magent does not apply Schooler-Kane research diagnostic criteria.
• Items 8-12 (overall_severity, incapacitation, awareness, dental_problems, wears_dentures) are required and returned and are not added to the dyskinesia total.
• magent does not subtract 1 for activation-only movements. Rate highest severity observed as assigned by the caller.
• Not AIMS65 (Saltzman 2011 upper GI bleed).

Formula

AIMS dyskinesia total = facial_expression + lips_perioral + jaw + tongue + upper_extremities + lower_extremities + trunk; each integer 0-4 (Guy 1976: 0 none, 1 minimal may be extreme normal, 2 mild, 3 moderate, 4 severe); rate highest severity observed; max 28; overall_severity, incapacitation, awareness, dental_problems, and wears_dentures recorded only, not in the total; no activation subtraction; no published total-score TD cutoffs

Call

Expect HTTP 402 until you retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE. Incomplete query params return HTTP 400 before any quote or charge.

curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" "https://api.magentlab.com/api/calc/aims?facial_expression=2&lips_perioral=0&jaw=0&tongue=1&upper_extremities=0&lower_extremities=0&trunk=0&overall_severity=2&incapacitation=1&awareness=1&dental_problems=false&wears_dentures=false"

Parameters

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.

POST /api/calc/aims Max 25 unit_amount + extra_item_amount * (n - 1) extra $0.002 PREVIEW

• 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.

Client errors (HTTP 400)

Invalid params return 400 without charge. Shared HTTP 402 and 503 meanings: Payments.

Related tools

• BARS — Return the Swift 2002 Behavioural Activity Rating Scale (BARS) 1-7 from a caller-assigned integer, with a stable label.
• GDS-15 — Sum fifteen Sheikh 1986 GDS-15 yes/no items using that paper's reverse-scoring key and return the published 0-15 total. Does not apply later total-score severity bands.

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. HTTP 402 never includes the tool JSON.
• 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.
