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

## What it computes

Return Pizov 1999 blast lung injury severity (mild, moderate, or severe) only when caller-assigned PaO2/FiO2, infiltrates, pneumothorax, and bronchopleural fistula match one published definition exactly.

## When to use

When an agent already has a PaO2/FiO2 ratio and caller-assigned infiltrate pattern, pneumothorax, and bronchopleural fistula after a blast, and needs the published Pizov 1999 class. magent does not read a chest radiograph or assay blood gas. Not a ventilator prescription.

## When not to use

- Not a medical device. Not a ventilator prescription. magent does not set PEEP, FiO2, or mode.
- magent does not read a chest radiograph or assay blood gas. All findings are caller-assigned.
- Three published Pizov 1999 definitions only. Combinations that match none of the three are rejected; magent does not invent a nearest class. Not a numeric point total.

## Formula

```
mild iff pf_ratio > 200 and infiltrates localized and no pneumothorax and no bronchopleural fistula; moderate iff 60 <= pf_ratio <= 200 and infiltrates diffuse and no bronchopleural fistula (pneumothorax optional); severe iff pf_ratio < 60 and infiltrates bilateral and bronchopleural fistula; unmatched combinations are invalid (Pizov 1999). Not a numeric point total

## Worked example

### Mild BLI, PaO2/FiO2 250

Given: `bronchopleural_fistula=false, infiltrates=localized, pf_ratio=250, pneumothorax=false`

1. pf_ratio 250 > 200, infiltrates localized, pneumothorax false, bronchopleural_fistula false → mild


### Moderate BLI, no pneumothorax

Given: `bronchopleural_fistula=false, infiltrates=diffuse, pf_ratio=130, pneumothorax=false`

1. pf_ratio 130 is 60 to 200, infiltrates diffuse, bronchopleural_fistula false, pneumothorax optional false → moderate

## Parameters

- `pf_ratio` (number, required): PaO2/FiO2 ratio in mm Hg (20-600). Pizov 1999 bands: >200 mild, 60 to 200 moderate, <60 severe. Caller-supplied; magent does not assay blood gas.
- `infiltrates` (string, required): Lung infiltrate pattern as assigned by the caller: localized (mild), diffuse (moderate; Pizov 1999 diffuse bilateral or unilateral), or bilateral (severe). magent does not read a chest radiograph.
- `pneumothorax` (boolean, required): true when the caller assigns pneumothorax. Mild requires false; moderate allows true or false; severe does not use this flag (Pizov 1999). magent does not read a chest radiograph.
- `bronchopleural_fistula` (boolean, required): true when the caller assigns bronchopleural fistula. Required true for severe; mild and moderate require false so the combination matches a Pizov 1999 definition exactly. magent does not read a chest radiograph.

## 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/bli`
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": [
    {
      "bronchopleural_fistula": "false",
      "infiltrates": "localized",
      "pf_ratio": "250",
      "pneumothorax": "false"
    },
    {
      "bronchopleural_fistula": "false",
      "infiltrates": "localized",
      "pf_ratio": "250",
      "pneumothorax": "false"
    }
  ]
}
```

## Errors

- HTTP 400 `invalid_bli`: Blast-lung-injury inputs must match a Pizov 1999 mild, moderate, or severe definition from that paper (PaO2/FiO2, infiltrates, pneumothorax, bronchopleural fistula). Returned before settlement; you are not charged.
- HTTP 400 `invalid_flag`: boolean clinical flags must be true or false 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).

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.
