What it computes
Apply the Davis 2017 HEAVEN criteria from six caller-assigned flags and return high_risk iff any is true, plus the count of criteria met (0-6).
When to use
When an agent already has the six Davis 2017 HEAVEN flags (hypoxemia, extremes of size, anatomic challenges, vomit/blood/fluid, exsanguination, limited neck mobility) and needs whether any published difficult-airway criterion is present. magent does not measure SpO2 or examine the airway.
When not to use
- Not a medical device.
- Not an intubation order.
- magent does not measure SpO2 or examine the airway. The caller assigns the six flags.
- Not Mallampati, not EGRI.
Formula
high_risk iff hypoxemia or extremes_of_size or anatomic_challenges or vomit_blood_fluid or exsanguination or neck_mobility_limited; low_risk iff not high_risk; criteria_met is the count of those six flags that are true (Davis 2017 HEAVEN; high_risk iff any of six caller-assigned flags)

Worked example
All six flags false (low_risk, criteria_met 0)
Given:

Hypoxemia only (high_risk, criteria_met 1)
Given:
anatomic_challenges=falseexsanguination=falseextremes_of_size=falsehypoxemia=trueneck_mobility_limited=falsevomit_blood_fluid=false

Opens the live endpoint. Unpaid browser requests show the paywall; agents should send Accept: application/json.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
hypoxemia |
boolean | required | Hypoxemia (SpO2 ≤93% at initial laryngoscopy) as assigned by the caller (Davis 2017). true is a HEAVEN flag. magent does not measure SpO2. |
extremes_of_size |
boolean | required | Extremes of size (pediatric ≤8 years or clinical obesity) as assigned by the caller (Davis 2017). true is a HEAVEN flag. magent does not examine the patient or assign age. |
anatomic_challenges |
boolean | required | Anatomic challenges that limit laryngoscopy as assigned by the caller (Davis 2017). true is a HEAVEN flag. magent does not examine the airway. |
vomit_blood_fluid |
boolean | required | Vomit, blood, or fluid in the pharynx or hypopharynx as assigned by the caller (Davis 2017). true is a HEAVEN flag. magent does not examine the airway. |
exsanguination |
boolean | required | Exsanguination (suspected anemia that would accelerate desaturation) as assigned by the caller (Davis 2017). true is a HEAVEN flag. magent does not assay hemoglobin. |
neck_mobility_limited |
boolean | required | Limited neck mobility as assigned by the caller (Davis 2017). true is a HEAVEN flag. magent does not examine the neck. |
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.

- Mallampati — Return the Samsoon 1987 modified Mallampati class 1-4 from a caller-assigned integer, with a stable label.
- EGRI — Sum the El-Ganzouri 1996 simplified airway risk index (seven 0/1/2 items; max 12) and return high_risk when the score is 4 or more.
- Aldrete — Compute the Aldrete 1970 postanesthetic recovery score as the sum of five caller-assigned 0-2 signs (activity, respiration, circulation, consciousness, color) and return the 1970 recovery-room band.
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. 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.
