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

What it computes

Compute expected sodium in hyperglycemia using Katz 1.6 or Hillier 2.4. The formula argument is required.

When to use

When an agent must not apply a Katz or Hillier factor silently. Callers must choose formula=katz or formula=hillier.

When not to use

  • Not a treatment recommendation and not a diagnosis of hyponatremia.
  • formula is required. magent does not pick Katz or Hillier.
  • Does not recommend fluid or insulin therapy. Arithmetic only for the chosen published factor.

Formula

corrected_na_mmol_l = sodium_mmol_l + 1.6 * (glucose_mg_dl - 100) / 100

Worked example

Na 125, glucose 400, Katz

Given: formula=katzglucose_mg_dl=400sodium_mmol_l=125

  1. excess = (400 - 100) / 100 = 3.0
  2. corrected Na = 125 + 1.6 * 3.0 = 129.8 mmol/L

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

Parameters

Name Type Required Description
sodium_mmol_l number required Measured serum sodium in mmol/L (110-160).
glucose_mg_dl number optional Plasma glucose in mg/dL (50-1000). Provide this or glucose_mmol_l.
glucose_mmol_l number optional Plasma glucose in mmol/L (2.8-55.5). Converted as mg/dL = mmol/L * 18.015.
formula string required · katz, hillier Correction factor. Required; magent does not pick one silently.

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/corrected_sodium 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.

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.
