Not a medical device. Not a diagnosis, dose, or listing recommendation.
What it computes
Sum the ten Hodkinson 1972 AMT-10 items from caller-assigned correct/incorrect flags and return the 0–10 total. Hodkinson 1972 did not publish a diagnostic cutoff.
When to use
When an agent already has AMT-10 items assigned as correct or incorrect and needs the published 0–10 total, not a dementia diagnosis, not an invented cutoff, and not Swain 1997 AMT-4.
When not to use
- Not a medical device and not a dementia diagnosis. magent does not interview the patient.
- Each item is a caller-assigned boolean. This API does not collect an age, date of birth, place name, year, address, or monarch name.
- Hodkinson 1972 abbreviated the 26-item test to 10 questions and did not publish a diagnostic cutoff. This tool returns the 0–10 sum only.
- This is Hodkinson 1972 AMT-10 only. It is not Swain 1997 AMT-4.
Formula
AMT-10 = age_correct + time_correct + address_recall_correct + year_correct + place_correct + two_persons_correct + dob_correct + world_war_start_correct + monarch_correct + count_backwards_20_correct; each 1 if true; max 10 (Hodkinson 1972)

Worked example
All ten items correct
Given:
address_recall_correct=trueage_correct=truecount_backwards_20_correct=truedob_correct=truemonarch_correct=trueplace_correct=truetime_correct=truetwo_persons_correct=trueworld_war_start_correct=trueyear_correct=true
- all ten caller-assigned flags are true
- Score = 10 (max 10); Hodkinson 1972 does not publish a cutoff
Date of birth incorrect, other items correct
Given:
address_recall_correct=trueage_correct=truecount_backwards_20_correct=truedob_correct=falsemonarch_correct=trueplace_correct=truetime_correct=truetwo_persons_correct=trueworld_war_start_correct=trueyear_correct=true
- dob_correct false → 0; the other nine items true → 1 each
- Score = 9 (max 10)

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.
