# Waist–hip ratio WHR Status: LIVE Price: $0.005 USDC `GET /api/calc/whr` HTML: https://magentlab.com/docs/whr Markdown: https://magentlab.com/docs/whr.md Not a medical device. Not a diagnosis, dose, or listing recommendation. ## What it computes Compute waist–hip ratio (WHR) as waist circumference divided by hip circumference after the same unit normalize, following the WHO 2011 expert consultation report. ## When to use When an agent needs the published waist–hip ratio and must not apply obesity or sex-specific WHR cutoffs, assign a body-fat percentage, or invent a cardiovascular diagnosis. ## When not to use - Not a medical device. magent does not measure the patient. - Not a body-fat or cardiovascular diagnosis. The 200 is the waist–hip ratio only. - Does not apply later obesity or sex-specific WHR cutoffs from the WHO 2011 report. ## Formula ``` WHR = waist_cm / hip_cm ``` ## Citation [Waist circumference and waist–hip ratio: report of a WHO expert consultation, Geneva, 8–11 December 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22184524) World Health Organization Geneva: World Health Organization; 2011 DOI: none ## Worked example ### waist 80 cm, hip 100 cm Given: `hip_cm=100, waist_cm=80` 1. WHR = 80 / 100 = 0.80 ## Also searched as - waist hip ratio - waist-to-hip ratio - WHR - waist to hip - WHO waist hip - waist–hip ratio - hip circumference ratio ## Parameters - `waist_cm` (number, optional): Waist circumference in centimeters (40-200). Provide waist_cm or waist_in. - `hip_cm` (number, optional): Hip circumference in centimeters (40-200). Provide hip_cm or hip_in. - `waist_in` (number, optional): Waist circumference in inches. Converted as cm = in * 2.54. - `hip_in` (number, optional): Hip circumference in inches. Converted as cm = in * 2.54. ## 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/whr` 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": [ { "hip_cm": "100", "waist_cm": "80" }, { "hip_cm": "100", "waist_cm": "80" } ] } ``` Human paywall (two-item fixture): https://api.magentlab.com/paywall/bulk/whr Example 200: ```json { "count": 2, "path": "/api/calc/whr", "items": [ { "disclaimer": "Not a medical device.

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.

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). Shared HTTP 402 and 503 table: https://magentlab.com/docs/payments Stdio MCP (one process per host): https://magentlab.com/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.
