What it computes

Compute the Weiss 2007 PEDOCS two-variable score from caller-supplied waiting-room patients and total registered patients.

When to use

When an agent has the published snapshot counts for a pediatric ED and needs the Weiss 2007 two-variable PEDOCS score, not a diversion or ambulance-bypass order.

When not to use

• Not a medical device. Not a diversion or ambulance-bypass order.
• magent does not count patients. Caller supplies waiting-room and total registered counts. Waiting-room count cannot exceed total registered.
• Weiss 2007 reduced two-variable model for a pediatric ED. Academic NEDOCS and community CEDOCS are different tools.
• The paper's expert-consensus outcome scale is 0-200 with Likert anchors at 0 (not busy), 40 (busy), 80 (extremely busy but not overcrowded), 120 (overcrowded), 160 (severely overcrowded), and 200 (dangerously overcrowded). magent does not clamp the linear combination, does not apply a NEDOCS ≥100 overcrowding cutoff, and does not invent 20/60/100 named class bands.
• Does not apply a later bed-capacity correction. Not a diagnosis of crowding-related harm.

Formula

pedocs_score = 33.3 * (0.11 + 0.07 * waiting_room_patients + 0.04 * total_registered_patients)

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

/api/calc/pedocs?waiting_room_patients=0&total_registered_patients=0

Full URL: https://api.magentlab.com/api/calc/pedocs?waiting_room_patients=0&total_registered_patients=0

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/pedocs?waiting_room_patients=0&total_registered_patients=0"

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/pedocs 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": [
    {
      "total_registered_patients": "0",
      "waiting_room_patients": "0"
    },
    {
      "total_registered_patients": "0",
      "waiting_room_patients": "0"
    }

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.

Related tools

• NEDOCS — Compute the Weiss 2004 NEDOCS reduced five-variable score from caller-supplied ED patients, ED beds, boarding patients, hospital beds, respirators, longest admitted-patient hours, and last-called registration-to-bed hours, and return the published ≥100 overcrowding cutoff.
• CEDOCS — Compute the Weiss 2014 CEDOCS reduced-model score from caller-supplied critical-care patients, longest admitted-patient hours since admission, waiting-room count, ED patients, ED beds, and annual ED visits.

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.
