What it computes

Agents must not invent eGFR from model memory. This endpoint computes published race-free CKD-EPI 2021 creatinine eGFR in mL/min/1.73m2; pay per request with x402 USDC on Base.

When to use

When an agent needs the cited race-free CKD-EPI 2021 creatinine equation rather than a language-model guess. Pay per request with x402 USDC. Not a diagnosis or dosing recommendation.

When not to use

• Not a medical device. Not a treatment recommendation and not a dosing recommendation.
• Creatinine-only 2021 equation. No race coefficient. Cystatin C is not accepted.
• Does not apply pediatric equations.

Formula

142 * min(Scr/κ,1)^α * max(Scr/κ,1)^(-1.200) * 0.9938^age * (1.012 if female)

Opens the live endpoint. Unpaid browser requests show the paywall; agents should send Accept: application/json.

/api/calc/egfr_ckd_epi?creatinine_mg_dl=1.1&age=65&sex=female

Full URL: https://api.magentlab.com/api/calc/egfr_ckd_epi?creatinine_mg_dl=1.1&age=65&sex=female

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/egfr_ckd_epi?creatinine_mg_dl=1.1&age=65&sex=female"

Parameters

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/egfr_ckd_epi 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.

Example request (fixture)

Opens a two-item fixture on the API host. Unpaid browsers get the same MetaMask paywall as GET; Pay retries POST with those items.

Client errors (HTTP 400)

Invalid params return 400 without charge. Shared HTTP 402 and 503 meanings: Payments.

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.
