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

What it computes

Sum the Licurse 2010 seven-factor integer points used for that paper's low versus higher-risk hydronephrosis split in AKI (history of hydronephrosis 4; each of the other six factors 1).

When to use

When an agent already has the seven Licurse 2010 flags, including caller-assigned Black, and needs the published 0–10 total and 2010 validation band (≤2 low, ≥3 higher), not an ultrasound order. magent does not assign race and does not perform ultrasound.

When not to use

  • Not a medical device.
  • Not an imaging order and not a diagnosis of obstruction. magent does not perform ultrasonography.
  • black is caller-assigned as used in Licurse 2010 (nonblack race scores 1); magent does not assign race.
  • Two-level 2010 validation split only: score ≤2 low (validation HN 3.1%, HNRI 0.4%); score ≥3 higher (validation HN 15.7%, HNRI 4.7%). Not a three-level medium band.
  • obstruction_diagnosis is one caller-assigned flag covering abdominal or pelvic mass, BPH, pelvic surgery, or neurogenic bladder.
  • nephrotoxins, chf, and prerenal_aki (pressor use or sepsis) each score 1 when absent. magent does not identify medications or diagnose sepsis.

Formula

Licurse = 4 if history_hydronephrosis + 1 if not black (nonblack race) + 1 if recurrent_uti + 1 if obstruction_diagnosis + 1 if not nephrotoxins + 1 if not chf + 1 if not prerenal_aki; integer points as used for the 2010 validation split; score 0-10; low iff score<=2 (validation HN 3.1%, HNRI 0.4%); higher iff score>=3 (validation HN 15.7%, HNRI 4.7%)

Worked example

All pluses absent (score 0, low)

Given: black=truechf=truehistory_hydronephrosis=falsenephrotoxins=trueobstruction_diagnosis=falseprerenal_aki=truerecurrent_uti=false

  1. history_hydronephrosis false → 0
  2. black true (not nonblack) → 0
  3. recurrent_uti false → 0
  4. obstruction_diagnosis false → 0
  5. nephrotoxins true (exposure present) → 0
  6. chf true → 0
  7. prerenal_aki true → 0
  8. Score = 0 (max 10); risk_band = low (validation HN 3.1%, HNRI 0.4%)

History of hydronephrosis only (score 4, higher)

Given: black=truechf=truehistory_hydronephrosis=truenephrotoxins=trueobstruction_diagnosis=falseprerenal_aki=truerecurrent_uti=false

  1. history_hydronephrosis true → 4
  2. The other six factors are at the zero-point polarity
  3. Score = 4 (max 10); risk_band = higher

Two 1-point factors (score 2, still low)

Given: black=falsechf=truehistory_hydronephrosis=falsenephrotoxins=trueobstruction_diagnosis=falseprerenal_aki=truerecurrent_uti=true

  1. black false (nonblack) → 1; recurrent_uti true → 1
  2. Score = 2 (max 10); risk_band = low (2010 split is ≤2 low)

All seven pluses (score 10, higher)

Given: black=falsechf=falsehistory_hydronephrosis=truenephrotoxins=falseobstruction_diagnosis=trueprerenal_aki=falserecurrent_uti=true

  1. history_hydronephrosis true → 4
  2. black false → 1; recurrent_uti true → 1; obstruction_diagnosis true → 1
  3. nephrotoxins false → 1; chf false → 1; prerenal_aki false → 1
  4. Score = 10 (max 10); risk_band = higher

Parameters

Name Type Required Description
history_hydronephrosis boolean required History of hydronephrosis as assigned by the caller (Licurse 2010). true scores 4. magent does not read imaging or perform ultrasound.
black boolean required Caller-assigned Black as used in Licurse 2010; magent does not assign race. Nonblack race (false) scores 1. true or false.
recurrent_uti boolean required Recurrent urinary tract infections as assigned by the caller (Licurse 2010). true scores 1. magent does not take a culture history.
obstruction_diagnosis boolean required Diagnosis consistent with possible obstruction (abdominal or pelvic mass, BPH, pelvic surgery, or neurogenic bladder) as one caller-assigned flag (Licurse 2010). true scores 1. magent does not examine the patient.
nephrotoxins boolean required Inpatient nephrotoxic exposure as assigned by the caller (Licurse 2010). Absence (false) scores 1. magent does not identify medications.
chf boolean required Congestive heart failure as assigned by the caller (Licurse 2010). Absence (false) scores 1. magent does not diagnose heart failure.
prerenal_aki boolean required Prerenal AKI (pressor use or sepsis) as assigned by the caller (Licurse 2010). Absence (false) scores 1. magent does not diagnose sepsis or read pressor use.

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/licurse 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. 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.
