What it computes
Sum Katz 2015 Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Severity Scale (CP-SSS) points from caller-assigned conjugate gaze deviation, abnormal level of consciousness, and arm weakness, and return whether the total suggests severe stroke (score ≥2).
When to use
When an agent has caller-assigned Katz 2015 CP-SSS items and needs the published 0-4 total and score ≥2 severe-stroke flag, not the 3-item Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Scale facial/arm/speech screen, NIHSS, or a tPA decision.
When not to use
- Not a medical device. magent does not examine the patient. Conjugate gaze deviation, level of consciousness, and arm weakness are caller-assigned Katz 2015 findings.
- This is the Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Severity Scale (CP-SSS), not the 3-item Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Scale (CPSS) facial droop, arm drift, and speech screen.
- Not NIHSS and not a tPA, thrombolysis, or transfer order. severe_stroke_suggested is true iff score ≥ 2 (this paper's cutoff for NIHSS ≥15 / LVO prediction). Sensitivity, PPV, and other operating-point statistics are not returned.
Formula
CP-SSS = gaze_deviation (2 if present, else 0) + loc_abnormal (1 if cannot answer age or current month, or cannot follow commands) + arm_weakness (1 if cannot hold arm 10 s); Katz 2015; max 4; severe_stroke_suggested if score ≥ 2

Worked example
Gaze, LOC, and arm all absent
Given:
arm_weakness=falsegaze_deviation=0loc_abnormal=false
- gaze_deviation 0 + loc_abnormal 0 + arm_weakness 0
- Score = 0 (max 4); severe_stroke_suggested false (cutoff is ≥2)
All items at published maximum
Given:
arm_weakness=truegaze_deviation=2loc_abnormal=true
- gaze_deviation 2 + loc_abnormal 1 + arm_weakness 1
- Score = 4 (max 4); severe_stroke_suggested true

Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
gaze_deviation |
integer | required · 0, 2 | Caller-assigned Katz 2015 conjugate gaze deviation. Integer 0 absent or 2 present (not 1). magent does not examine the patient. |
loc_abnormal |
boolean | required | Caller-assigned Katz 2015 incorrect level of consciousness (cannot answer age or current month correctly, or cannot follow commands). true if abnormal, false if normal. magent does not examine the patient. |
arm_weakness |
boolean | required | Caller-assigned Katz 2015 arm weakness: cannot hold arm up for 10 s (arm falls or no effort against gravity). true if present. magent does not examine the patient. |
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.
