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

## What it computes

Return the Bishop 1964 pelvic score as the sum of five caller-assigned integer components (dilation, effacement, station, consistency, position).

## When to use

When an agent already has Bishop 1964 component points and needs the published total. magent does not examine the cervix or assign the five components from a narrative.

## When not to use

- Not a medical device and not a cervical exam, induction order, or labor-progress decision. magent does not examine the cervix.
- Inputs are caller-assigned Bishop 1964 point integers (dilation 0-3, effacement 0-3, station 0-3, consistency 0-2, position 0-2), not centimeters, percent, or station in centimeters. Paper bins: dilation 0 / 1-2 / 3-4 / 5-6 cm; effacement 0-30 / 40-50 / 60-70 / 80%; station -3 / -2 / -1 or 0 / +1 or +2; consistency firm/medium/soft; position posterior/mid/anterior.
- Bishop 1964 total is 0-13. magent does not add later favorable/unfavorable cutoffs, modified Bishop, cervical length, or nulliparous extensions.

## Formula

```
Bishop = dilation + effacement + station + consistency + position; caller-assigned integers 0-3, 0-3, 0-3, 0-2, 0-2; max 13
```

## Worked example

### Dilation 2, effacement 2, station 1, consistency 1, position 1

Given: `consistency=1, dilation=2, effacement=2, position=1, station=1`

1. dilation 2 + effacement 2 + station 1 + consistency 1 + position 1
2. Score = 7 (max 13)


### All zeros

Given: `consistency=0, dilation=0, effacement=0, position=0, station=0`

1. dilation 0 + effacement 0 + station 0 + consistency 0 + position 0
2. Score = 0 (max 13)


### Maximum published score

Given: `consistency=2, dilation=3, effacement=3, position=2, station=3`

1. dilation 3 + effacement 3 + station 3 + consistency 2 + position 2
2. Score = 13 (max 13)

## Parameters

- `dilation` (integer, required): Caller-assigned Bishop 1964 dilation points 0-3 (paper bins: 0 cm → 0; 1-2 cm → 1; 3-4 cm → 2; 5-6 cm → 3). magent does not measure dilation.
- `effacement` (integer, required): Caller-assigned Bishop 1964 effacement points 0-3 (paper bins: 0-30% → 0; 40-50% → 1; 60-70% → 2; 80% → 3). magent does not measure effacement.
- `station` (integer, required): Caller-assigned Bishop 1964 station points 0-3 (paper bins: -3 → 0; -2 → 1; -1 or 0 → 2; +1 or +2 → 3). magent does not assign station.
- `consistency` (integer, required): Caller-assigned Bishop 1964 consistency points 0-2 (paper bins: firm → 0; medium → 1; soft → 2). magent does not palpate the cervix.
- `position` (integer, required): Caller-assigned Bishop 1964 position points 0-2 (paper bins: posterior → 0; mid → 1; anterior → 2). magent does not examine cervical position.

## 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/bishop`
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": [
    {
      "consistency": "1",
      "dilation": "2",
      "effacement": "2",
      "position": "1",
      "station": "1"
    },
    {
      "consistency": "1",

      "effacement": "2",
      "position": "1",
      "station": "1"

## Errors

- HTTP 400 `invalid_bishop`: Bishop 1964 components: dilation 0-3, effacement 0-3, station 0-3, consistency 0-2, position 0-2 (caller-assigned points). 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.

## 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.
