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

What it computes

Return the Rockwood 2005 CSHA Clinical Frailty Scale 1-7 from a caller-assigned integer, with the published Box 1 description.

When to use

When an agent already has a CSHA Clinical Frailty Scale 1-7 as in Rockwood 2005 Box 1 and must not invent the later 9-point CFS or CFS 2.0 labels.

When not to use

  • Not a medical device and not a diagnosis. magent does not examine the patient.
  • Rockwood 2005 7-point CSHA Clinical Frailty Scale only. magent does not implement the later 9-point CFS (8 very severely frail, 9 terminally ill) or CFS 2.0 label changes.
  • The caller assigns cfs 1-7. magent does not interview or examine the patient.

Formula

CSHA Clinical Frailty Scale 1-7 as assigned by the caller (Rockwood 2005 Box 1); not the later 9-point CFS

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/cfs?cfs=1"

Parameters

Name Type Required Description
cfs integer required Rockwood 2005 CSHA Clinical Frailty Scale 1-7 as assigned by the caller (1 very fit; 2 well; 3 well, with treated comorbid disease; 4 apparently vulnerable; 5 mildly frail; 6 moderately frail; 7 severely frail, completely dependent or terminally ill). magent does not examine the patient. The later 9-point CFS (8 very severely frail, 9 terminally ill) is not accepted.

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/cfs 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.

HTTP Code When
400 invalid_cfs cfs must be an integer from 1 to 7 (Rockwood 2005 CSHA Clinical Frailty Scale). Returned before settlement; you are not charged.
400 invalid_items POST body must be a JSON object with only an items array Returned before settlement; you are not charged.
400 invalid_item_count items must be an array of 1 to 25 objects Returned before settlement; you are not charged.
400 invalid_item each items entry must be a JSON object 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. 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.
