PEDIS diabetic foot ulcer grades
PEDIS
Apply Schaper 2004 IWGDF PEDIS research grades and return the five independent grades (perfusion 1-3, extent 1-3, depth 1-3, infection 1-4, sensation 1-2) plus a pedis label like 1-1-1-1-1.

What it computes
Apply Schaper 2004 IWGDF PEDIS research grades and return the five independent grades (perfusion 1-3, extent 1-3, depth 1-3, infection 1-4, sensation 1-2) plus a pedis label like 1-1-1-1-1.
When to use
When an agent already has caller-assigned PEDIS grades for a diabetic foot ulcer as in Schaper 2004 and needs the published five-grade label. magent does not measure the ulcer, diagnose PAD, or probe bone.
When not to use
- Not a medical device.
- Not IWGDF treatment guidance. This tool is the Schaper 2004 research classification only.
- magent does not measure the ulcer or diagnose PAD. The caller assigns perfusion, extent, depth, infection, and sensation.
- magent does not probe bone. Depth grade 3 (bone and/or joint) is caller-assigned.
- The five grades are independent. This tool does not return a summed PEDIS total or extra bands.
Formula
PEDIS is five independent Schaper 2004 IWGDF grades, not a summed total: perfusion 1-3 (1 no PAD symptoms/signs; 2 PAD without critical limb ischemia; 3 critical limb ischemia); extent 1-3 (ulcer area 1 <1 cm2; 2 1-3 cm2; 3 >3 cm2); depth 1-3 (1 superficial, not through dermis to subcutaneous; 2 to subcutaneous/fascia/muscle/tendon, not bone/joint; 3 bone and/or joint); infection 1-4 (1 none; 2 skin/subcutaneous only; 3 deeper than skin without SIRS; 4 infection with SIRS); sensation 1-2 (1 no loss of protective sensation; 2 loss of protective sensation). Label is perfusion-extent-depth-infection-sensation

Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
perfusion |
integer | required | Perfusion grade 1-3 as assigned by the caller (Schaper 2004): 1 no PAD symptoms/signs; 2 PAD without critical limb ischemia; 3 critical limb ischemia. magent does not diagnose PAD or measure pulses or pressures. |
extent |
integer | required | Extent (ulcer area) grade 1-3 as assigned by the caller (Schaper 2004): 1 <1 cm2; 2 1-3 cm2; 3 >3 cm2. magent does not measure the ulcer. |
depth |
integer | required | Depth grade 1-3 as assigned by the caller (Schaper 2004): 1 superficial (not through dermis to subcutaneous); 2 to subcutaneous/fascia/muscle/tendon (not bone/joint); 3 bone and/or joint. magent does not probe bone. |
infection |
integer | required | Infection grade 1-4 as assigned by the caller (Schaper 2004): 1 none; 2 skin/subcutaneous only; 3 deeper than skin (abscess, osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, fasciitis) without SIRS; 4 infection with SIRS. magent does not diagnose infection. |
sensation |
integer | required | Sensation grade 1-2 as assigned by the caller (Schaper 2004): 1 no loss of protective sensation; 2 loss of protective sensation. magent does not test sensation. |
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.

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.
