Not a medical device. Not a diagnosis, dose, or listing recommendation.

## What it computes

Sum caller-assigned 28-joint swollen and tender counts, 0–10 cm patient and evaluator globals, and CRP in mg/dL, and return the Aletaha 2005 SDAI with the newly proposed activity state.

## When to use

When an agent already has 28-joint swollen and tender counts, 0–10 cm patient and evaluator globals, and CRP in mg/dL and needs the published SDAI sum and Aletaha 2005 newly proposed activity state, not the original 5/20/40 cutoffs.

## When not to use

- Not a medical device and not a rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis or a treatment order.
- magent does not count joints or assay CRP. sjc28, tjc28, pga, ega, and crp_mg_dl are caller-assigned. CRP is mg/dL as published, not mg/L. The 0–30 CRP range is a magent clamp.
- Uses the Aletaha 2005 newly proposed SDAI definition (≤3.3 remission, ≤11 low, ≤26 moderate, >26 high), not the original 5/20/40 cutoffs.
- Not CDAI (SDAI without CRP). Not Crohn's CDAI. Not DAS28.

## Formula

```
SDAI = sjc28 + tjc28 + pga + ega + crp_mg_dl; Aletaha 2005 newly proposed definition; ≤3.3 remission, >3.3 and ≤11 low, >11 and ≤26 moderate, >26 high; half points allowed; not original 5/20/40; magent does not count joints or assay CRP
```

## Worked example

### CRP 0.4 mg/dL, clinical zeros

Given: `crp_mg_dl=0.4, ega=0, pga=0, sjc28=0, tjc28=0`

1. sjc28 0 + tjc28 0 + pga 0 + ega 0 + crp_mg_dl 0.4
2. score = 0.4 (≤3.3), sdai_band remission


### Score 3.3 is remission

Given: `crp_mg_dl=0, ega=0, pga=3.3, sjc28=0, tjc28=0`

1. pga 3.3; remaining terms 0
2. score = 3.3 (≤3.3), sdai_band remission

## Parameters

- `sjc28` (integer, required): Caller-assigned swollen joint count on the 28-joint set (Aletaha 2005). Integer 0-28. magent does not count joints.
- `tjc28` (integer, required): Caller-assigned tender joint count on the 28-joint set (Aletaha 2005). Integer 0-28. magent does not count joints.
- `pga` (number, required): Caller-assigned patient global assessment on a 0-10 cm VAS (Aletaha 2005). Number 0-10. magent does not examine the patient.
- `ega` (number, required): Caller-assigned evaluator global assessment on a 0-10 cm VAS (Aletaha 2005). Number 0-10. magent does not examine the patient.
- `crp_mg_dl` (number, required): Caller-assigned C-reactive protein in mg/dL (Aletaha 2005; not mg/L). Number 0-30 is a magent clamp. magent does not assay CRP.

## 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.

Method: `POST /api/calc/sdai`
Max items: 25
Price: unit_amount + extra_item_amount * (n - 1) (unit 5000 atomic, extra 2000 atomic)
Status: PREVIEW

- 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.

Example request:

```json
{
  "items": [
    {
      "crp_mg_dl": "0.4",
      "ega": "0",
      "pga": "0",
      "sjc28": "0",
      "tjc28": "0"
    },
    {
      "crp_mg_dl": "0.4",
      "ega": "0",
      "pga": "0",
      "sjc28": "0",

## Errors

- HTTP 400 `invalid_sdai`: sjc28 and tjc28 must be integers 0–28; pga and ega numbers 0–10; crp_mg_dl a number 0–30 (Aletaha 2005 SDAI disease-activity states). Returned before settlement; you are not charged.
- HTTP 400 `invalid_items`: POST body must be a JSON object with only an items array Returned before settlement; you are not charged.
- HTTP 400 `invalid_item_count`: items must be an array of 1 to 25 objects Returned before settlement; you are not charged.
- HTTP 400 `invalid_item`: each items entry must be a JSON object Returned before settlement; you are not charged.

- [ACR/EULAR gout](https://magentlab.com/docs/acr-eular-gout) — Apply the 2015 ACR/EULAR gout classification criteria (Neogi Table 2): require the entry episode, classify immediately if MSU crystals are present, otherwise return the Step 3 score (max 23) and whether score ≥8 classifies gout. Not a gout diagnosis.

Not a PMR diagnosis.

Not a diagnosis.

## 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.

- GET the tool with Accept: application/json (do not send Accept: text/html unless you want the human paywall).
- HTTP 402 means you have not paid. Decode the base64 PAYMENT-REQUIRED header. HTTP 503 is not a new quote.
- Sign accepts[0] (exact, EIP-3009) with validBefore = now + maxTimeoutSeconds (600 seconds), or accepts[1] (batch-settlement deposit/voucher) on product GET. Ping and POST {items} stay exact. Magent retries transient facilitator 429/5xx before answering.
- Retry the same URL with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE (base64 JSON of accepted and payload). Magent attaches canonical extensions.bazaar on CDP verify/settle; echoing 402 bazaar is optional.
- Success is HTTP 200 JSON plus PAYMENT-RESPONSE. exact settles before the tool. batch-settlement verifies (and deposit-settles) before the tool and commits the charge after HTTP 2xx. HTTP 503: retry the same PAYMENT-SIGNATURE. Mint a new exact nonce only after a new HTTP 402.

- offered `exact` on eip155:8453: Fixed-price USDC on Base. The buyer authorizes the advertised amount (EIP-3009). magent settles before the tool runs (paymentFlow upfront). extra.assetTransferMethod=eip3009 extra.paymentFlow=upfront.
- offered `batch-settlement` on eip155:8453: Payment-channel vouchers claimed later in batches. Exact stays accepts[0]. Same-path POST {items} is still exact. extra.assetTransferMethod=eip3009 extra.paymentFlow=authorization.

- not offered `upto`: Not offered. Usage-based: buyer authorizes a ceiling, seller settles the actual amount after work. Reserved for a future metered tool. Not for current calculators or code search.

Same-path POST {items} is still scheme exact: one EIP-3009 authorization for GET unit plus $0.002 per extra item. That is not x402 batch-settlement (payment channels / vouchers).

## 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.
