What it computes
Apply Scalea 1999 FAST four Ps and return positive when any caller-assigned perihepatic, perisplenic, pelvic, or pericardial window has free fluid.
When to use
When an agent already has caller-assigned perihepatic (Morison), perisplenic, pelvic, and pericardial window flags and needs the published FAST positive or negative result. magent does not scan.
When not to use
- Not a medical device. magent does not perform or interpret ultrasound.
- Not a laparotomy, thoracotomy, or pericardial-window operative order.
- Windows are caller-assigned. magent does not decide whether a view shows free fluid or pericardial fluid.
- Scalea 1999 four Ps only (pericardial, perihepatic, perisplenic, pelvic). Not eFAST pleural views; the consensus left pleural extension as not well characterized.
- Not Huang or McKenney hemoperitoneum scoring. Not organ-specific injury grading.
Formula
positive iff perihepatic or perisplenic or pelvic or pericardial (Scalea 1999 four Ps: pericardial, perihepatic, perisplenic, pelvic). Each flag is caller-assigned free intraperitoneal fluid (perihepatic/Morison, perisplenic, pelvic) or pericardial fluid. Absence of all four is negative. Sequence is not required. Not pleural/eFAST views. Not Huang or McKenney scoring. Not a laparotomy order

Worked example
All four windows negative
Given:
pelvic=falsepericardial=falseperihepatic=falseperisplenic=false
- perihepatic, perisplenic, pelvic, and pericardial are false
- No window has free fluid; positive is false
Perihepatic (Morison) window alone positive
Given:
pelvic=falsepericardial=falseperihepatic=trueperisplenic=false
- perihepatic is true (Morison / right-upper-quadrant free fluid as assigned)
- perisplenic, pelvic, and pericardial are false
- Any-window rule; positive is true

Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
perihepatic |
boolean | required | Perihepatic (Morison / right-upper-quadrant) window positive for free intraperitoneal fluid as assigned by the caller (Scalea 1999 four Ps). true or false. magent does not interpret ultrasound. |
perisplenic |
boolean | required | Perisplenic (left-upper-quadrant) window positive for free intraperitoneal fluid as assigned by the caller (Scalea 1999 four Ps). true or false. magent does not interpret ultrasound. |
pelvic |
boolean | required | Pelvic window positive for free intraperitoneal fluid as assigned by the caller (Scalea 1999 four Ps). true or false. magent does not interpret ultrasound. |
pericardial |
boolean | required | Pericardial window positive for pericardial fluid as assigned by the caller (Scalea 1999 four Ps). true or false. magent does not interpret ultrasound. |
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

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.
