What it computes
Compute the Bedogni 2006 fatty liver index from caller-supplied BMI, waist circumference, triglycerides, and GGT as a predictor of hepatic steatosis in the general population.
When to use
When an agent needs published Bedogni 2006 FLI arithmetic and must not invent an imaging diagnosis, hepatic steatosis index cutoffs, or NAFLD fibrosis score bands.
When not to use
- Not a medical device. Not a steatosis diagnosis and not a substitute for imaging.
- BMI is caller-supplied. magent does not compute BMI from height and weight in this tool.
- Bedogni 2006 FLI only. Not the hepatic steatosis index, not the NAFLD fibrosis score, not FIB-4, and not APRI.
Formula
L = 0.953 * loge(triglycerides_mg_dl) + 0.139 * bmi_kg_m2 + 0.718 * loge(ggt_u_l) + 0.053 * waist_cm - 15.745; FLI = (e^L / (1 + e^L)) * 100

Worked example
BMI 22, waist 70 cm, triglycerides 80 mg/dL, GGT 20 U/L
Given:
bmi_kg_m2=22ggt_u_l=20triglycerides_mg_dl=80waist_cm=70
- L = 0.953 * loge(80) + 0.139 * 22 + 0.718 * loge(20) + 0.053 * 70 - 15.745 = -2.65
- FLI = (e^L / (1 + e^L)) * 100 = 6.6
- FLI < 30 → bedogni_band rule_out

Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
bmi_kg_m2 |
number | required | Body-mass index in kg/m^2 (10-80). Caller-supplied; magent does not compute BMI. |
waist_cm |
number | required | Waist circumference in cm (40-200). |
ggt_u_l |
number | required | Gamma-glutamyltransferase in U/L (1-2000). |
triglycerides_mg_dl |
number | optional | Triglycerides in mg/dL (10-2000). Italian lab units in Bedogni 2006. Provide this or triglycerides_mmol_l, not both. |
triglycerides_mmol_l |
number | optional | Triglycerides in mmol/L (0.11-22.6). Converted as mg/dL = mmol/L * 88.57. Provide this or triglycerides_mg_dl, not both. |
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
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.
