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

## What it computes

Compute the Mark 1991 Duke treadmill score from Bruce-protocol exercise duration in minutes, maximal net ST-segment deviation in millimetres, and angina index (0 none, 1 nonlimiting, 2 exercise-limiting), with the paper’s illustrative three-group cutoffs.

## When to use

When an agent needs the published Mark 1991 Duke treadmill score and must not invent a catheterization order, diagnose coronary artery disease, prescribe a Bruce protocol, or read the ECG.

## When not to use

- Not a medical device. magent does not diagnose coronary artery disease.
- Not a catheterization order and not a Bruce-protocol prescription.
- magent does not read the ECG. Maximal net ST-segment deviation is supplied by the caller in millimetres.
- Bands are the Mark 1991 illustrative groups only: high if score < -10, moderate if -10 ≤ score ≤ 4, low if score ≥ 5.

## Formula

```
duke_treadmill_score = exercise_min - (5 * st_deviation_mm) - (4 * angina_index)
```

## Worked example

### 10 min, 1 mm ST, no angina

Given: `angina_index=0, exercise_min=10, st_deviation_mm=1`

1. duke_treadmill_score = 10 − (5 × 1) − (4 × 0) = 5.0
2. score ≥ 5 → low


### 5 min, 2 mm ST, nonlimiting angina

Given: `angina_index=1, exercise_min=5, st_deviation_mm=2`

1. duke_treadmill_score = 5 − (5 × 2) − (4 × 1) = −9.0
2. −10 ≤ −9.0 ≤ 4 → moderate


### 3 min, 2 mm ST, exercise-limiting angina

Given: `angina_index=2, exercise_min=3, st_deviation_mm=2`

1. duke_treadmill_score = 3 − (5 × 2) − (4 × 2) = −15.0
2. −15.0 < −10 → high

## Parameters

- `exercise_min` (number, required): Bruce-protocol exercise duration in minutes (number 0-21). Mark 1991. Not a Bruce-protocol prescription.
- `st_deviation_mm` (number, required): Maximal net ST-segment deviation during or after exercise in millimetres (number 0-10). Mark 1991. magent does not read the ECG.
- `angina_index` (integer, required): Mark 1991 angina index: 0 no angina during exercise, 1 nonlimiting angina, 2 exercise-limiting angina. Integer 0, 1, or 2.

## 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/duke_treadmill`
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": [
    {
      "angina_index": "0",
      "exercise_min": "10",
      "st_deviation_mm": "1"
    },
    {
      "angina_index": "0",
      "exercise_min": "10",
      "st_deviation_mm": "1"
    }
  ]
}
```

## 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.
- 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.
