What it computes
Apply the Streck 2017 Pediatric Surgery Research Collaborative five-variable prediction rule and return whether the child is at very low risk of blunt intra-abdominal injury (none of five caller-assigned findings present). Does not order a CT.
When to use
When an agent has caller-assigned findings after blunt abdominal trauma in a child and needs the Streck 2017 PedSRC rule, not Holmes 2013 PECARN IAI (pecarn-iai).
When not to use
- Not a medical device. Not a diagnosis. magent does not examine the child.
- This tool is the Streck 2017 five-variable PedSRC prediction rule only. It is not Holmes 2013 PECARN IAI (pecarn-iai). Presence of a criterion does not mandate CT. Do not order a CT from this tool.
- AST is a positive variable iff greater than 200 U/L (200 is not positive). magent does not assay AST, amylase, or lipase; the caller assigns abnormal_pancreatic_enzymes.
- magent does not take age. The published derivation was age <16 years. The five clinical variables determine very_low_risk.
Formula
very_low_risk iff no ast_gt_200 and no abnormal_abdominal_exam and no abnormal_chest_xray and no abdominal_pain and no abnormal_pancreatic_enzymes

Worked example
AST 80 U/L and all four flags absent
Given:
abdominal_pain=falseabnormal_abdominal_exam=falseabnormal_chest_xray=falseabnormal_pancreatic_enzymes=falseast_u_l=80
- AST 80 is not >200 U/L; no abnormal abdominal examination, abnormal chest x-ray, abdominal pain, or abnormal pancreatic enzymes
- very_low_risk is true; this tool does not order a CT
AST greater than 200 U/L alone is not very low risk
Given:
abdominal_pain=falseabnormal_abdominal_exam=falseabnormal_chest_xray=falseabnormal_pancreatic_enzymes=falseast_u_l=201
- AST 201 is >200 U/L; the four flags remain absent
- very_low_risk is false. Presence of this criterion does not mandate CT

Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
ast_u_l |
number | required | Aspartate aminotransferase in U/L (number 1-10000). Positive Streck 2017 variable iff >200 U/L (200 is not positive). magent does not assay AST. |
abnormal_abdominal_exam |
boolean | required | Abnormal abdominal examination (wall trauma, distension, or tenderness) as assigned by the caller. true means the finding is present and very_low_risk is false. true or false. magent does not examine the child. |
abnormal_chest_xray |
boolean | required | Abnormal chest x-ray as assigned by the caller. true means the finding is present and very_low_risk is false. true or false. magent does not read a radiograph. |
abdominal_pain |
boolean | required | Reported abdominal pain as assigned by the caller. true means pain is present and very_low_risk is false. true or false. magent does not take a pain score. |
abnormal_pancreatic_enzymes |
boolean | required | Abnormal amylase or lipase as assigned by the caller. true means the finding is present and very_low_risk is false. true or false. magent does not assay amylase or lipase. |
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.
