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

What it computes

Sum the six Pugin 1991 CPIS domains (temperature, leukocytes, tracheal secretions, oxygenation, chest radiograph, tracheal-aspirate culture) and return le_6 or gt_6.

When to use

When an agent needs the published Pugin 1991 CPIS total and >6 band and must not invent a VAP diagnosis, an antibiotic order, or Singh 2000 modified CPIS radiographic progression.

When not to use

  • Not a medical device and not a VAP diagnosis or antibiotic order. CPIS >6 suggested pulmonary infection in the Pugin 1991 derivation; it is not a diagnosis.
  • This is original Pugin 1991 CPIS (max 12). It is not Singh 2000 modified CPIS and does not score day-3 radiographic progression.
  • Chest radiograph (none, diffuse, or localized) and culture (none, pathogen, or pathogen_and_gram) are caller-assigned. magent does not read radiographs or Gram stains.
  • Leukocyte band forms are the caller-assigned bands_ge_50 flag (≥50% bands). magent does not compute a differential.
  • Pugin 1991 temperature bins are one-decimal. 36.1–36.4 and 38.91–38.99 are unpublished and score 0 (not ≤36.0, not 38.5–38.9, not ≥39.0). Do not invent a <39 one-point band.

Formula

CPIS = temperature(36.5-38.4→0, 38.5-38.9→1, ≥39 or ≤36→2) + leukocytes(4.0-11.0→0, <4.0 or >11.0→1, +1 if abnormal and bands_ge_50) + tracheal_secretions(none→0, nonpurulent→1, purulent→2) + oxygenation(pf_ratio>240 or ards→0, pf_ratio≤240 and not ards→2) + chest_radiograph(none→0, diffuse→1, localized→2) + culture(none→0, pathogen→1, pathogen_and_gram→2); Pugin 1991; max 12; CPIS>6 suggests pulmonary infection in that derivation

Parameters

Name Type Required Description
temperature_c number required Temperature in °C (30.0-45.0). 36.5-38.4 scores 0; 38.5-38.9 scores 1; ≥39.0 or ≤36.0 scores 2 (Pugin 1991).
wbc_k_ul number required WBC in 10^3/mm^3 (same as 10^3/µL or 10^9/L). Range 0.01-500. 4.0-11.0 scores 0; <4.0 or >11.0 scores 1. Abnormal WBC plus bands_ge_50 scores 2 for this domain.
bands_ge_50 boolean required Caller-assigned ≥50% band forms (Pugin 1991). true adds 1 only when WBC is already <4.0 or >11.0. true or false.
tracheal_secretions string required · none, nonpurulent, purulent Caller-assigned tracheal secretions. none scores 0; nonpurulent scores 1; purulent scores 2 (Pugin 1991).
pf_ratio number required PaO2/FiO2 in mm Hg (20-800). >240 or ards=true scores 0; ≤240 and ards=false scores 2 (Pugin 1991).
ards boolean required Caller-assigned ARDS. true scores 0 for oxygenation even when pf_ratio ≤240. true or false.
chest_radiograph string required · none, diffuse, localized Caller-assigned chest radiograph. none scores 0; diffuse scores 1; localized scores 2. magent does not read the radiograph.
culture string required · none, pathogen, pathogen_and_gram Caller-assigned tracheal-aspirate culture. none scores 0; pathogen (moderate/heavy pathogenic growth) scores 1; pathogen_and_gram (same pathogen on Gram stain) scores 2. magent does not read Gram stains.

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.

POST /api/calc/cpis Max 25 unit_amount + extra_item_amount * (n - 1) extra $0.002 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.

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.
  • 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.
