Not a medical device. Not a diagnosis, dose, or listing recommendation.
What it computes
Sum VanWagner 2017 Table 3 CAR-OLT integer points and return the Table 4 1-year predicted CVD complication percent.
When to use
When an agent has caller-assigned age, sex, race as used in VanWagner 2017, work, education, and comorbidity flags and needs the published CAR-OLT total and Table 4 predicted percent, not a listing decision or RCRI.
When not to use
- Not a medical device. Not a transplant listing, operative clearance, or cardiac-testing order.
- race_group is caller-assigned as used in VanWagner 2017 Table 3 (white, black, other). magent does not assign race. Hispanic and Asian map to other (referent) in that model.
- Table 4 color/risk labels are arbitrary; magent reports the integer score and the table 1-year predicted percent only.
- Table 4 has no row for total score 9; that score uses the <9 predicted <5% row.
- Scores >40 map to Table 4 45% (the paper prints 45+). Unclamped except as Table 3.
- magent does not examine the patient, assign work or education, or observe a ventilator. Flags are caller-assigned.
Formula
CAR-OLT = age (<45 0, 45-49 -6, 50-54 -4, 55-59 2, 60-64 5, >=65 8) + sex (male 0, female 1) + race_group (white 7, black 10, other 0) + not working 10 + education (high_school_or_unknown 5, college 0) + atrial_fibrillation 25 + ventilator_respiratory_failure 13 + pulmonary_hypertension 9 + no HCC 6 + hypertension 4 + diabetes 4 + heart_failure 7; VanWagner 2017 Table 3; Table 4 1-year predicted CVD %; unclamped; score 9 uses the <9 row

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

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.
