SULF-FAST sulfa antibiotic allergy rule
SULF-FAST
Sum the three Waldron 2023 SULF-FAST flags for a reported trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole allergy and return the 0–5 score, published risk group (low if score < 3, elevated if ≥ 3), and low_risk_for_testing (score < 3).

What it computes
Sum the three Waldron 2023 SULF-FAST flags for a reported trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole allergy and return the 0–5 score, published risk group (low if score < 3, elevated if ≥ 3), and low_risk_for_testing (score < 3).
When to use
When an agent has already assigned the three Waldron 2023 SULF-FAST flags for a patient who reports trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (sulfa antibiotic) allergy and needs the published point total and risk group. magent does not take an allergy history and does not diagnose allergy or issue a delabeling order. This is not PEN-FAST.
When not to use
- Not a medical device.
- Not an allergy diagnosis and not a delabeling order.
- magent does not take an allergy history.
- Not PEN-FAST. Waldron 2023 adapted the PEN-FAST flags for reported trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (sulfa antibiotic) allergy.
- Waldron 2023 uses two risk groups (low if score < 3, elevated if score ≥ 3), not the Trubiano 2020 four-tier PEN-FAST groups.
- A score < 3 is the paper's low-risk cutoff and does not replace specialist testing when indicated.
Formula
SULF-FAST = five_or_fewer_years_ago (true 2) + anaphylaxis_angioedema_or_scar (true 2) + treatment_required (true 1); Waldron 2023; max 5; score < 3 low, score ≥ 3 elevated; low_risk_for_testing iff score < 3

Worked example
All three flags false
Given:
anaphylaxis_angioedema_or_scar=falsefive_or_fewer_years_ago=falsetreatment_required=false
- five_or_fewer_years_ago false → 0; anaphylaxis_angioedema_or_scar false → 0; treatment_required false → 0
- Score = 0 (max 5); risk = low; low_risk_for_testing = true
All three flags true
Given:
anaphylaxis_angioedema_or_scar=truefive_or_fewer_years_ago=truetreatment_required=true
- five_or_fewer_years_ago true → 2; anaphylaxis_angioedema_or_scar true → 2; treatment_required true → 1
- Score = 5 (max 5); risk = elevated; low_risk_for_testing = false

Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
five_or_fewer_years_ago |
boolean | required | Allergy event 5 or fewer years ago as assigned by the caller (Waldron 2023). true scores 2. magent does not take an allergy history. |
anaphylaxis_angioedema_or_scar |
boolean | required | Anaphylaxis/angioedema or potential SCAR as one 2-point criterion (Waldron 2023). true scores 2; do not add both phenotypes separately. magent does not take an allergy history. |
treatment_required |
boolean | required | Treatment required for the allergy episode as assigned by the caller (Waldron 2023). true scores 1. magent does not take an allergy history. |
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.
