Not a medical device. Not a diagnosis, dose, or listing recommendation.
What it computes
Apply the Mearin 2016 Rome IV C4 functional abdominal bloating/distension criteria and return whether the published C4 box holds (rome_iv_bloating).
When to use
When an agent already has the three caller-assigned Rome IV C4 flags as in Mearin 2016 and needs whether the published functional abdominal bloating/distension box holds. magent does not examine the patient.
When not to use
- Not a medical device.
- Not a diagnosis. magent does not diagnose functional abdominal bloating or distension.
- The caller assigns the three flags. magent does not examine the patient.
- This tool is adult Rome IV C4 functional abdominal bloating/distension only. Not child, not IBS, not functional constipation, not functional diarrhea, and not PDS or functional dyspepsia as a substitute.
Formula

Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
criteria_last_3_months_onset_6_months |
boolean | required | Criteria fulfilled for the last 3 months with symptom onset at least 6 months prior to diagnosis, as assigned (Mearin 2016 C4). true or false as assigned by the caller. magent does not take a history. |
recurrent_bloating_or_distension_ge_1_day_week_predominant |
boolean | required | Recurrent bloating or visible distension, on average at least 1 day per week, that predominates over other bowel symptoms (Mearin 2016 C4). true or false as assigned by the caller. magent does not examine the patient. |
insufficient_criteria_for_ibs_fc_diarrhea_pds |
boolean | required | Insufficient criteria for IBS, functional constipation, functional diarrhea, or postprandial distress syndrome, as assigned by the caller (Mearin 2016 C4). true or false. magent does not apply those other boxes. |
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.
