Not a medical device. Not a diagnosis, dose, or listing recommendation.
What it computes
Sum the twenty Busto 1989 CIWA-B items (each caller-assigned integer 0-4) and return the published total (max 80). Hours of sleep and minutes to fall asleep are recorded only.
When to use
When an agent has already assigned Busto 1989 0-4 integers and needs the published CIWA-B total, not a later mild-to-very-severe band or a benzodiazepine prescription.
When not to use
- Not a medical device and not a benzodiazepine prescription, taper, or treatment order.
- The twenty scored items are caller-assigned Busto 1989 integers 0-4. magent does not observe the patient.
- hours_of_sleep and minutes_to_fall_asleep are optional recorded values from that paper and are not added to the total.
- Busto 1989 published the twenty-item 0-80 instrument. magent does not apply later 1-20 / 21-40 / 41-60 / 61-80 mild-to-very-severe manuals.
- Not CIWA-Ar (alcohol). Not COWS (opiate).
Formula
CIWA-B = restlessness + tremor + sweating + irritability + fatigue + tension + concentration + appetite + numbness + palpitations + headache + muscle_aches + anxiety + upset + sleep_restfulness + weakness + enough_sleep + visual_disturbances + fear + worry; each caller-assigned 0-4; max 80; Busto 1989; hours_of_sleep and minutes_to_fall_asleep recorded only, not in the total; no published total-score severity bands

Worked example
All scored items 0
Given:
anxiety=0appetite=0concentration=0enough_sleep=0fatigue=0fear=0headache=0irritability=0muscle_aches=0numbness=0palpitations=0restlessness=0sleep_restfulness=0sweating=0tension=0tremor=0upset=0visual_disturbances=0weakness=0worry=0
- restlessness, tremor, sweating, irritability, fatigue, tension, concentration, appetite, numbness, palpitations, headache, muscle_aches, anxiety, upset, sleep_restfulness, weakness, enough_sleep, visual_disturbances, fear, and worry are 0 as assigned by the caller
- Score = 0 (max 80). hours_of_sleep and minutes_to_fall_asleep are omitted and are not in the total.
All scored items 4
Given:
anxiety=4appetite=4concentration=4enough_sleep=4fatigue=4fear=4headache=4irritability=4muscle_aches=4numbness=4palpitations=4restlessness=4sleep_restfulness=4sweating=4tension=4tremor=4upset=4visual_disturbances=4weakness=4worry=4
- each of the twenty Busto 1989 scored items is 4 as assigned by the caller
- Score = 80 (max 80). No total-score severity band.

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. 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.
