What it computes
Compute the Sripongpun 2023 steatosis-associated fibrosis estimator (SAFE) from age, caller-supplied BMI, diabetes, AST, ALT, globulin in g/dL, and platelets.
When to use
When an agent needs published Sripongpun 2023 SAFE arithmetic and must not invent FIB-4, NAFLD fibrosis, or BARD cutoffs or a biopsy result.
When not to use
- Not a medical device. Not a diagnosis and not a biopsy or fibrosis stage. SAFE bands are published cut-points, not histology.
- BMI is caller-supplied. magent does not compute BMI from height and weight in this tool. BMI above 40 is set to 40 in the formula only (Sripongpun 2023).
- Sripongpun 2023 SAFE only. Not FIB-4, not the NAFLD fibrosis score, and not the BARD score.
- Globulin must be in g/dL (total protein minus albumin). magent does not convert g/L or split protein and albumin.
Formula
SAFE = 2.97*age + 5.99*min(BMI, 40) + 154.85*ln(AST) - 58.23*ln(ALT) + 195.48*ln(globulin_g_dl) - 141.61*ln(platelets_10e9_l) + 62.85*(diabetes 0/1) - 75

Worked example
Age 50, BMI 30, no diabetes, AST/ALT 40, globulin 3, platelets 200
Given:
age=50alt_u_l=40ast_u_l=40bmi_kg_m2=30diabetes=falseglobulin_g_dl=3platelets_10e9_l=200
- BMI used = min(30, 40) = 30; diabetes = 0
- SAFE = 2.97*50 + 5.99*30 + 154.85*ln(40) - 58.23*ln(40) + 195.48*ln(3) - 141.61*ln(200) + 62.85*0 - 75 = 74.08
- 0 <= 74.08 <= 100 → safe_band 0_to_100

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

Expect HTTP 402 until you retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE. Incomplete query params
return HTTP 400 before any quote or charge.

Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
age |
integer | required | Age in years (18-120). |
bmi_kg_m2 |
number | required | Body-mass index in kg/m^2 (10-80). Caller-supplied; magent does not compute BMI from height and weight. Values above 40 are set to 40 in the formula only (Sripongpun 2023); the caller BMI is still echoed. |
diabetes |
boolean | required | Diabetes as assigned by the caller (Sripongpun 2023; 0 or 1 in the equation). true or false. magent does not diagnose diabetes. |
ast_u_l |
number | required | Aspartate aminotransferase in U/L (1-10000). |
alt_u_l |
number | required | Alanine aminotransferase in U/L (1-10000). |
globulin_g_dl |
number | required | Globulin in g/dL (0.5-8.0). Total protein minus albumin. magent does not convert g/L or split protein and albumin. |
platelets_10e9_l |
number | required | Platelet count in 10^9/L (1-2000). |
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.
