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

## What it computes

Apply the Edmiaston 2010 five-item Acute Stroke Dysphagia Screen and return whether all five criteria hold (asds_pass).

## When to use

When an agent already has a caller-assigned total GCS 3-15 and the four bedside flags (facial, tongue, palatal, 3-ounce water-swallow aspiration signs) and needs the published fail-any screen result, not a swallow diagnosis or diet order.

## When not to use

- Not a medical device.
- Not a diagnosis of dysphagia and not a diet order.
- The caller assigns GCS and the four bedside flags. magent does not examine cranial nerves, assign GCS, or administer a 3-ounce water swallow.
- A fail is not a swallow-study order. A pass is not clearance for oral intake.

## Formula

```
asds_pass iff GCS >= 13 and no facial_asymmetry_or_weakness and no tongue_asymmetry_or_weakness and no palatal_asymmetry_or_weakness and no water_swallow_aspiration_signs (Edmiaston 2010 five-item fail-any)
```

## Worked example

### All five criteria met

Given: `facial_asymmetry_or_weakness=false, gcs=15, palatal_asymmetry_or_weakness=false, tongue_asymmetry_or_weakness=false, water_swallow_aspiration_signs=false`

1. GCS 15 ≥ 13
2. Facial, tongue, and palatal asymmetry or weakness absent; no water-swallow aspiration signs
3. asds_pass


### GCS 12 fails the consciousness criterion

Given: `facial_asymmetry_or_weakness=false, gcs=12, palatal_asymmetry_or_weakness=false, tongue_asymmetry_or_weakness=false, water_swallow_aspiration_signs=false`

1. GCS 12 is not ≥ 13
2. asds_pass is false

## Parameters

- `gcs` (integer, required): Caller-assigned total GCS as an integer 3-15. Criterion met when GCS ≥ 13; 12 does not meet. magent does not assign GCS (use /api/calc/gcs for eye, verbal, and motor).
- `facial_asymmetry_or_weakness` (boolean, required): Facial asymmetry or weakness. true or false as assigned by the caller. Criterion met when false. magent does not examine cranial nerves.
- `tongue_asymmetry_or_weakness` (boolean, required): Tongue asymmetry or weakness. true or false as assigned by the caller. Criterion met when false. magent does not examine cranial nerves.
- `palatal_asymmetry_or_weakness` (boolean, required): Palatal asymmetry or weakness. true or false as assigned by the caller. Criterion met when false. magent does not examine cranial nerves.
- `water_swallow_aspiration_signs` (boolean, required): Signs of aspiration on a 3-ounce water swallow as assigned by the caller. true or false. Criterion met when false. magent does not administer a swallow test.

## 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.

Method: `POST /api/calc/asds`
Max items: 25
Price: unit_amount + extra_item_amount * (n - 1) (unit 5000 atomic, extra 2000 atomic)
Status: 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.

Example request:

```json
{
  "items": [
    {
      "facial_asymmetry_or_weakness": "false",
      "gcs": "15",
      "palatal_asymmetry_or_weakness": "false",
      "tongue_asymmetry_or_weakness": "false",
      "water_swallow_aspiration_signs": "false"
    },
    {
      "facial_asymmetry_or_weakness": "false",
      "gcs": "15",
      "palatal_asymmetry_or_weakness": "false",
      "tongue_asymmetry_or_weakness": "false",

- HTTP 400 `invalid_flag`: boolean clinical flags must be true or false Returned before settlement; you are not charged.
- HTTP 400 `invalid_items`: POST body must be a JSON object with only an items array Returned before settlement; you are not charged.

## 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.

- GET the tool with Accept: application/json (do not send Accept: text/html unless you want the human paywall).
- HTTP 402 means you have not paid. Decode the base64 PAYMENT-REQUIRED header. HTTP 503 is not a new quote.
- Sign accepts[0] (exact, EIP-3009) with validBefore = now + maxTimeoutSeconds (600 seconds), or accepts[1] (batch-settlement deposit/voucher) on product GET. Ping and POST {items} stay exact. Magent retries transient facilitator 429/5xx before answering.
- Retry the same URL with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE (base64 JSON of accepted and payload). Magent attaches canonical extensions.bazaar on CDP verify/settle; echoing 402 bazaar is optional.
- Success is HTTP 200 JSON plus PAYMENT-RESPONSE. exact settles before the tool. batch-settlement verifies (and deposit-settles) before the tool and commits the charge after HTTP 2xx. HTTP 503: retry the same PAYMENT-SIGNATURE. Mint a new exact nonce only after a new HTTP 402.

- offered `exact` on eip155:8453: Fixed-price USDC on Base. The buyer authorizes the advertised amount (EIP-3009). magent settles before the tool runs (paymentFlow upfront). extra.assetTransferMethod=eip3009 extra.paymentFlow=upfront.
- offered `batch-settlement` on eip155:8453: Payment-channel vouchers claimed later in batches. Exact stays accepts[0]. Same-path POST {items} is still exact. extra.assetTransferMethod=eip3009 extra.paymentFlow=authorization.

- not offered `upto`: Not offered. Usage-based: buyer authorizes a ceiling, seller settles the actual amount after work. Reserved for a future metered tool. Not for current calculators or code search.

Same-path POST {items} is still scheme exact: one EIP-3009 authorization for GET unit plus $0.002 per extra item. That is not x402 batch-settlement (payment channels / vouchers).

## 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.
