What it computes
Apply Bellomo 2004 Fig. 1 RIFLE classification and return the worse of the creatinine and urine-output limbs (none, risk, injury, failure), with persistent ARF beyond 4 weeks mapping to loss and ESRD beyond 3 months mapping to esrd.
When to use
When an agent already has baseline and current serum creatinine in mg/dL, a caller-assigned RIFLE urine-output category, and optional Loss/ESRD duration flags, and needs the published RIFLE class. magent does not assay creatinine or measure urine. Not AKIN 2007 and not KDIGO 2012.
When not to use
- Not a medical device and not a diagnosis of acute kidney injury.
- magent does not assay creatinine or measure urine. baseline_creatinine_mg_dl and current_creatinine_mg_dl are caller-supplied in mg/dL only.
- urine_output is the caller-assigned published duration category. magent does not collect weight or urine volume.
- Loss and ESRD are caller-assigned duration flags; magent does not collect observation time.
- This tool is Bellomo 2004 Fig. 1 RIFLE classification only. Not AKIN 2007 and not KDIGO 2012. It does not estimate baseline creatinine with MDRD.
Formula
RIFLE class = esrd if ESRD >3 months, else loss if persistent ARF >4 weeks, else worse of creatinine vs urine (none < risk < injury < failure). Creatinine vs baseline (unrounded mg/dL): Failure if ratio ≥3.0 or (current ≥4.0 mg/dL and increase ≥0.5 mg/dL); Injury if ratio ≥2.0; Risk if ratio ≥1.5. GFR % decrease (Risk >25%, Injury >50%, Failure >75%) is equivalent to those creatinine multiples. Urine (caller-assigned): none → none; oliguria_gt_6h → Risk; oliguria_gt_12h → Injury; oliguria_24h_or_anuria_12h → Failure (Bellomo 2004 Fig. 1)

Worked example
No RIFLE class: creatinine unchanged, no oliguria, no Loss or ESRD
Given:
baseline_creatinine_mg_dl=1.0current_creatinine_mg_dl=1.0esrd_gt_3_months=falsepersistent_arf_gt_4_weeks=falseurine_output=none
- baseline 1.0 mg/dL and current 1.0 mg/dL: increase 0, ratio 1.0 → creat_class none
- urine_output none → uo_class none
- persistent_arf_gt_4_weeks false and esrd_gt_3_months false → rifle_class = worse(none, none) = none

Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
baseline_creatinine_mg_dl |
number | required | Baseline serum creatinine in mg/dL (0.1-20). Classification uses the unrounded value. µmol/L is not accepted on this tool. magent does not assay creatinine. |
current_creatinine_mg_dl |
number | required | Current serum creatinine in mg/dL (0.1-20). Classification uses the unrounded value. µmol/L is not accepted on this tool. magent does not assay creatinine. |
urine_output |
string | required · none, oliguria_gt_6h, oliguria_gt_12h, oliguria_24h_or_anuria_12h | Caller-assigned RIFLE urine-output category (Bellomo 2004 Fig. 1): none (no oliguria or anuria criterion); oliguria_gt_6h (<0.5 mL/kg/h for 6 hours); oliguria_gt_12h (<0.5 mL/kg/h for 12 hours); oliguria_24h_or_anuria_12h (<0.3 mL/kg/h for 24 hours or anuria for 12 hours). Case-insensitive. magent does not collect weight or measure urine. |
persistent_arf_gt_4_weeks |
boolean | required | Persistent complete loss of kidney function for more than 4 weeks as assigned by the caller (Bellomo 2004 Loss). true maps to rifle_class loss unless esrd_gt_3_months is true. true or false. |
esrd_gt_3_months |
boolean | required | End-stage kidney disease for more than 3 months as assigned by the caller (Bellomo 2004 ESRD). true maps to rifle_class esrd irrespective of creatinine, urine, or Loss. true or false. |
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.

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.
