What it computes

Sum Heyland 2011 original 6-variable NUTRIC (Nutrition Risk in the Critically Ill) Table 4 overall points, including IL-6, and return whether the total is high nutrition risk (score ≥6).

When to use

When an agent has caller-supplied age, APACHE II, SOFA, comorbidity count, hospital days to ICU, and IL-6 and needs the published original NUTRIC total and high-risk flag, not a feeding order, and not Rahman 2015 mNUTRIC.

When not to use

  • Not a medical device.
  • Not a feeding order or nutrition-therapy prescription.
  • Heyland 2011 original 6-variable NUTRIC including IL-6 (Table 4 overall). high_risk is true iff score ≥ 6. This is not Rahman 2015 mNUTRIC (IL-6 omitted; do not use the 5–9 cutoff).
  • magent does not compute APACHE II or SOFA; the caller supplies those integers. APACHE II 28 scores 2 (the 20–28 row, not the overlapping ≥28 row).

Formula

NUTRIC = age (0–2) + apache_ii (0–3) + sofa (0–2) + comorbidities (0–1) + hospital_days_to_icu (0–1) + il6_pg_ml (0–1); Heyland 2011 Table 4 overall including IL-6; max 10; high_risk if score ≥ 6

Worked example

All zero bands, age 40

Given: age=40apache_ii=10comorbidities=0hospital_days_to_icu=0il6_pg_ml=100sofa=4

  1. age 40 <50 → 0; apache_ii 10 <15 → 0; sofa 4 <6 → 0
  2. comorbidities 0 → 0; hospital_days_to_icu 0 → 0; il6_pg_ml 100 <400 → 0
  3. Score = 0 (max 10); high_risk false

Age 75, APACHE II 20, SOFA 10 at the high-risk cutoff

Given: age=75apache_ii=20comorbidities=0hospital_days_to_icu=0il6_pg_ml=100sofa=10

  1. age ≥75 → 2; apache_ii 20–28 → 2; sofa ≥10 → 2
  2. comorbidities, hospital days, and IL-6 stay 0
  3. Score = 6 (max 10); high_risk true

Parameters

Name Type Required Description
age integer required Age in years (18-120). Heyland 2011 Table 4 overall: <50 → 0; 50–<75 → 1; ≥75 → 2. Age 50 scores 1. Age 74 scores 1. Age 75 scores 2.
apache_ii integer required Caller-supplied APACHE II total (integer 0-71). Heyland 2011 Table 4 overall: <15 → 0; 15–<20 → 1; 20–28 inclusive → 2; ≥29 → 3. APACHE II 28 scores 2 (the 20–28 row, not the overlapping ≥28 row). magent does not compute APACHE II.
sofa integer required Caller-supplied SOFA total (integer 0-24). Heyland 2011 Table 4 overall: <6 → 0; 6–<10 → 1; ≥10 → 2. magent does not compute SOFA.
comorbidities integer required Number of comorbidities (integer 0-20). Heyland 2011 Table 4 overall: 0–1 → 0; ≥2 → 1.
hospital_days_to_icu number required Days from hospital admission to ICU admission (0-365). Heyland 2011 Table 4 overall: 0–<1 → 0; ≥1 → 1. 0.9 scores 0. 1.0 scores 1.
il6_pg_ml number required Serum IL-6 in pg/mL (0-100000). Heyland 2011 Table 4 overall original 6-variable NUTRIC: 0–<400 → 0; ≥400 → 1. 399.9 scores 0. 400 scores 1. This is not Rahman 2015 mNUTRIC (IL-6 omitted).

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/nutric 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.
