# Paediatric Glasgow Coma Scale (PGCS) Calculator

> Paediatric Glasgow Coma Scale (PGCS) Calculator is a paid API for AI agents from api.magentlab.com, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Computes the Paediatric Glasgow Coma Scale (PGCS) total score (3–15) from caller-assigned eye (1–4), verbal (1–5), and motor (1–6) integer scores using the Reilly 1988 method.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability paediatric-glasgow-coma-scale-pgcs-calculator-64f65989
```

Example prompt: Calculate the Paediatric Glasgow Coma Scale score for a child with eye opening score 3, verbal response score 4, and motor response score 5 using the Reilly 1988 PGCS method.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a standards-compliant computation of the Paediatric Glasgow Coma Scale (Reilly 1988) total score and have already performed age-appropriate clinical assessment to assign the E, V, M integer subscores. This is appropriate for automating clinical documentation, audit, or secondary calculation workflows where the caller has done the bedside observation. Do not use for adult GCS (which uses a different five-point motor scale), for diagnostic or triage decision support, or when you need the endpoint to select age-specific assessment criteria.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required query parameter (eye, verbal, or motor) returns a validation error
- Out-of-range integer values (e.g. eye=5, verbal=0) may return an error or unexpected result
- Caller submits adult GCS motor scale values (five-point) instead of paediatric six-point motor scale
- Misidentification of PGCS as adult GCS 1974 may lead to incorrect motor scoring
- Network or payment (x402) failures preventing the API call from completing

## How this service works

Paediatric Glasgow Coma Scale (PGCS) from caller-assigned eye 1-4, verbal 1-5, and motor 1-6 integers (Reilly 1988). Sum 3-15; 1976-style six-point motor. magent does not observe the child, take age, pick age-specific wording, or implement an age-max expected-normal table. Not adult GCS 1974 five-point motor. Not a diagnosis, trauma triage, or intubation order.

## Output

Returns the summed PGCS total score (integer, range 3–15) derived from the three caller-supplied component integers: eye (E, 1–4), verbal (V, 1–5), and motor (M, 1–6). The motor scale follows the 1976-style six-point format per Reilly 1988. The endpoint does not observe the patient, select age-specific descriptors, or provide diagnostic or triage conclusions.
