Not a medical device. Not a diagnosis, dose, or listing recommendation.
What it computes
Apply the Benninga 2016 Rome IV G7 functional constipation (neonate/toddler) criteria and return features_met and whether the published infant constipation box holds (rome_iv_infant_constipation).
When to use
When an agent already has the caller-assigned Benninga 2016 Rome IV G7 flags (including toilet_trained and, when assigned, digital rectal exam as large_fecal_mass_in_rectum) and needs whether the published infant functional constipation box holds. magent does not examine the infant.
When not to use
- Not a medical device.
- Not a diagnosis. magent does not diagnose infant functional constipation.
- The caller assigns the flags, including large_fecal_mass_in_rectum (digital rectal exam is caller-assigned). magent does not examine the infant.
- This tool is Benninga 2016 Rome IV G7 functional constipation (neonate/toddler, infants up to 4 years) only. Not adult Rome IV FC (Mearin 2016 C2). Not child H3a.
Formula
rome_iv_infant_constipation iff duration_at_least_1_month and features_met >= 2; features_met always counts two_or_fewer_defecations_per_week, history_of_excessive_stool_retention, history_of_painful_or_hard_bowel_movements, history_of_large_diameter_stools, and large_fecal_mass_in_rectum; if toilet_trained also counts incontinence_after_toileting_at_least_weekly and large_diameter_stools_that_may_obstruct_toilet (Benninga 2016 Rome IV G7 Functional Constipation)

Worked example
Not toilet-trained, two of five core features, and 1-month duration

- toilet_trained is false; extras are not counted
- two_or_fewer_defecations_per_week and history_of_painful_or_hard_bowel_movements are true (2 of 5 core)
- duration_at_least_1_month is true
- rome_iv_infant_constipation is true
1-month duration with only one of five core features

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.
