What it computes
Apply the Brugada 1991 four-step algorithm for regular wide-QRS tachycardia and return diagnosis vt or svt plus the step that stopped the tree.
When to use
When an agent already has the four Brugada 1991 ECG step findings as assigned by the caller and needs the published sequential VT versus SVT result. magent does not interpret ECGs. Not Brugada syndrome and not a cardioversion order.
When not to use
- Not a medical device.
- magent does not interpret ECGs. The caller assigns each Brugada 1991 step finding as true or false.
- This tool is the Brugada 1991 algorithm for regular wide-QRS tachycardia only. Not Brugada syndrome (coved ST), not Vereckei aVR, not RWPT, and not Sgarbossa.
- Not a cardioversion order or a rhythm diagnosis beyond the published four-step tree.
Formula
VT iff no_rs_precordial or else rs_interval_gt_100 or else av_dissociation or else morphology_vt (Brugada 1991; stop at first true); else SVT

Worked example
All four steps false
Given:
av_dissociation=falsemorphology_vt=falseno_rs_precordial=falsers_interval_gt_100=false
- All four Brugada 1991 steps are false as assigned by the caller
- No step is positive, so diagnosis is svt and stopped_at is none

Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
no_rs_precordial |
boolean | required | Step 1: absence of an RS complex in all precordial leads (Brugada 1991). true or false as assigned by the caller. true diagnoses VT and stops the tree. magent does not interpret ECGs. |
rs_interval_gt_100 |
boolean | required | Step 2: RS interval >100 ms in one precordial lead (Brugada 1991). true or false as assigned by the caller. Evaluated only when step 1 is false. magent does not measure the tracing. |
av_dissociation |
boolean | required | Step 3: atrioventricular dissociation (Brugada 1991). true or false as assigned by the caller. Evaluated only when steps 1 and 2 are false. magent does not interpret ECGs. |
morphology_vt |
boolean | required | Step 4: both V1–V2 and V6 morphology criteria for VT as in Brugada 1991. true or false as assigned by the caller. Evaluated only when steps 1–3 are false. magent does not interpret ECGs. |
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

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.
