Fisher

What it computes
Return the Fisher 1980 original CT group 1-4 from a caller-assigned grade, with the published group description.
When to use
When an agent needs the original Fisher 1980 CT groups 1-4 and must not invent modified Fisher 2006 grades or a linear vasospasm-risk percentage.
When not to use
- Not a diagnosis and not a medical device. magent does not read the CT.
- This is Fisher 1980 original groups 1-4 only. It does not implement modified Fisher (Frontera 2006).
- Group 3 (thick SAH: localized clots and/or vertical layers ≥1 mm) was the high-vasospasm group in 1980. Group 4 is diffuse or no subarachnoid blood with ICH or IVH — not a worse grade than 3. magent does not invent a linear vasospasm risk from the integer.
Formula
Fisher 1980 original CT group 1-4 as assigned by the caller

Call
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
grade |
integer | required | Fisher 1980 original CT group 1-4 as assigned by the caller from CT. magent does not read the CT. |
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": [
{
"grade": "1"
},
{
"grade": "1"
}
]
}
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.
- 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.
