What it computes
Compute cerebral perfusion pressure as MAP minus ICP in mm Hg and flag whether CPP is at least 70 mm Hg per Rosner 1995.
When to use
When an agent has caller-supplied MAP and ICP in mm Hg and needs the published CPP identity and the Rosner 1995 minimum-CPP-of-70 flag, not a monitor reading or a treatment order.
When not to use
- Not a medical device. Not a treatment protocol.
- map_mm_hg and icp_mm_hg are caller-supplied. magent does not measure MAP or ICP and is not an invasive monitor.
- cpp_ge_70 is the Rosner 1995 protocol minimum CPP of at least 70 mm Hg. It is not a later target.
- CPP may be negative when ICP exceeds MAP. That is not a validation error.
Formula
cpp_mm_hg = map_mm_hg - icp_mm_hg

Worked example
MAP 90, ICP 10
Given:
icp_mm_hg=10map_mm_hg=90
- cpp_mm_hg = 90 − 10 = 80 → 80.0
- 80.0 ≥ 70 → cpp_ge_70 true

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/cpp?map_mm_hg=90&icp_mm_hg=10"
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
map_mm_hg |
number | required | Mean arterial pressure in mm Hg (30-180). Caller-supplied; magent does not measure MAP. |
icp_mm_hg |
number | required | Intracranial pressure in mm Hg (0-100). Caller-supplied; magent does not measure ICP. ICP may exceed MAP. |
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.
Example request (fixture)
{
"items": [
{
"icp_mm_hg": "10",
"map_mm_hg": "90"
},
{
"icp_mm_hg": "10",
"map_mm_hg": "90"
}
]
}
Opens a two-item fixture on the API host. Unpaid browsers get the same MetaMask paywall as GET; Pay retries POST with those 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.
