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

## 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=false, pericardial=false, perihepatic=false, perisplenic=false`

1. perihepatic, perisplenic, pelvic, and pericardial are false
2. No window has free fluid; positive is false


### Perihepatic (Morison) window alone positive

Given: `pelvic=false, pericardial=false, perihepatic=true, perisplenic=false`

1. perihepatic is true (Morison / right-upper-quadrant free fluid as assigned)
2. perisplenic, pelvic, and pericardial are false
3. Any-window rule; positive is true

## Parameters

- `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.

Method: `POST /api/calc/fast`
Max items: 25
Price: unit_amount + extra_item_amount * (n - 1) (unit 5000 atomic, extra 2000 atomic)
Status: 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:

```json
{
  "items": [
    {
      "pelvic": "false",
      "pericardial": "false",
      "perihepatic": "false",
      "perisplenic": "false"
    },
    {
      "pelvic": "false",
      "pericardial": "false",
      "perihepatic": "false",
      "perisplenic": "false"
    }
  ]
}
```

- HTTP 400 `invalid_item_count`: items must be an array of 1 to 25 objects Returned before settlement; you are not charged.
- HTTP 400 `invalid_item`: each items entry must be a JSON object Returned before settlement; you are not charged.

## 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.

- GET the tool with Accept: application/json (do not send Accept: text/html unless you want the human paywall).
- HTTP 402 means you have not paid. Decode the base64 PAYMENT-REQUIRED header. HTTP 503 is not a new quote.
- Sign accepts[0] (exact, EIP-3009) with validBefore = now + maxTimeoutSeconds (600 seconds), or accepts[1] (batch-settlement deposit/voucher) on product GET. Ping and POST {items} stay exact. Magent retries transient facilitator 429/5xx before answering.
- Retry the same URL with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE (base64 JSON of accepted and payload). Magent attaches canonical extensions.bazaar on CDP verify/settle; echoing 402 bazaar is optional.
- Success is HTTP 200 JSON plus PAYMENT-RESPONSE. exact settles before the tool. batch-settlement verifies (and deposit-settles) before the tool and commits the charge after HTTP 2xx. HTTP 503: retry the same PAYMENT-SIGNATURE. Mint a new exact nonce only after a new HTTP 402.

- offered `exact` on eip155:8453: Fixed-price USDC on Base. The buyer authorizes the advertised amount (EIP-3009). magent settles before the tool runs (paymentFlow upfront). extra.assetTransferMethod=eip3009 extra.paymentFlow=upfront.
- offered `batch-settlement` on eip155:8453: Payment-channel vouchers claimed later in batches. Exact stays accepts[0]. Same-path POST {items} is still exact. extra.assetTransferMethod=eip3009 extra.paymentFlow=authorization.

- not offered `upto`: Not offered. Usage-based: buyer authorizes a ceiling, seller settles the actual amount after work. Reserved for a future metered tool. Not for current calculators or code search.

Same-path POST {items} is still scheme exact: one EIP-3009 authorization for GET unit plus $0.002 per extra item. That is not x402 batch-settlement (payment channels / vouchers).

## 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.
