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

What it computes

Compute NICE CG174 adult hospital routine maintenance water (20, 25, or 30 mL/kg/day), approximately 1 mmol/kg/day sodium, potassium, and chloride each, and the fixed 50–100 g/day glucose range.

When to use

When an agent needs CG174 recommendations 1.4.1 and 1.4.3 routine-maintenance arithmetic and must not invent intraoperative 4-2-1 rates, Holliday–Segar 100/50/20 volumes, or a fluid-type order.

When not to use

• Not a medical device. Not a prescription or infusion-rate order.
• Not intraoperative 4-2-1. Not Holliday–Segar 100/50/20 pediatric maintenance water.
• Does not choose 0.18% sodium chloride / 4% glucose or any other fluid type.
• Obese dosing weight is caller-assigned ideal body weight (CG174 1.4.2); magent does not compute IBW. Volume over 2500 mL is flagged (1.4.4), not capped.

Formula

water_ml_day = ml_per_kg_day * weight_kg; electrolyte_mmol_day = 1 * weight_kg; glucose_g_day_low = 50; glucose_g_day_high = 100

Try

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

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/nice_iv_maintenance?weight_kg=70&ml_per_kg_day=25"

Parameters

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/nice_iv_maintenance 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.

Example request (fixture)

  "items": [
    {
      "ml_per_kg_day": "25",
      "weight_kg": "70"
    },

Opens a two-item fixture on the API host. Unpaid browsers get the same MetaMask paywall as GET; Pay retries POST with those items.

Client errors (HTTP 400)

Invalid params return 400 without charge. Shared HTTP 402 and 503 meanings: Payments.

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.
