What it computes

Compute the Ganzoni 1970 iron deficit from weight, measured hemoglobin, a caller-supplied target hemoglobin, and depot iron stores.

When to use

When an agent needs the published Ganzoni milligram deficit and must not invent a target hemoglobin, depot iron, or an IV iron product order.

When not to use

  • Not an IV iron product dose or order. magent does not pick target hemoglobin or depot iron.
  • Not a diagnosis of iron deficiency.

Formula

iron_deficit_mg = weight_kg * (target_hemoglobin_g_dl - hemoglobin_g_dl) * 2.4 + iron_stores_mg

Worked example

70 kg, Hb 8 to 15 g/dL, stores 500 mg

Given: hemoglobin_g_dl=8iron_stores_mg=500target_hemoglobin_g_dl=15weight_kg=70

  1. iron_deficit = 70 * (15 - 8) * 2.4 + 500 = 1176 + 500 = 1676.0 mg

70 kg, Hb 8 to 15 g/dL, stores 0 mg

Given: hemoglobin_g_dl=8iron_stores_mg=0target_hemoglobin_g_dl=15weight_kg=70

  1. iron_deficit = 70 * (15 - 8) * 2.4 + 0 = 1176.0 mg

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/ganzoni?weight_kg=70&hemoglobin_g_dl=8&target_hemoglobin_g_dl=15&iron_stores_mg=500"

Parameters

Name Type Required Description
weight_kg number optional Weight in kilograms. Provide weight_kg or weight_lb.
weight_lb number optional Weight in pounds. Converted as kg = lb * 0.45359237.
hemoglobin_g_dl number required Measured hemoglobin in g/dL (3-22). This tool does not accept g/L.
target_hemoglobin_g_dl number required Target hemoglobin in g/dL (7-18). Must be strictly greater than hemoglobin_g_dl. magent does not pick a target.
iron_stores_mg number required Depot iron stores in mg (0-2000). Required; magent does not default a depot.

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/ganzoni 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.

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.
