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

## What it computes

Apply the Nordestgaard 2013 Table 1 Dutch Lipid Clinic Network score from caller-supplied LDL cholesterol plus family, clinical, physical, and DNA flags, and return the 0–26 score and definite, probable, possible, or unlikely classification. Not a diagnosis.

## When to use

When an agent already has untreated LDL cholesterol and caller-assigned Dutch Lipid Clinic Network Table 1 family, clinical, physical, and DNA flags and needs the published adult DLCN score and classification. magent does not assay lipids, examine tendons or arcus, or sequence genes.

## When not to use

- Not a medical device and not a diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolaemia.
- magent does not assay lipids, examine tendons or arcus, or sequence genes. The caller supplies exactly one LDL value and assigns every flag.
- Adult Dutch Lipid Clinic Network Table 1 (Nordestgaard 2013 EAS consensus) only. Not Simon Broome, not MEDPED, and not homozygous FH.
- Per group only the highest applicable score is counted. Family, clinical, and physical items do not add within a group.

## Formula

```
DLCN (Nordestgaard 2013 Table 1) = family + clinical + physical + ldl + dna (per group only the highest); family: first_degree_xanthoma_or_arcus or child_ldl_gt_95th -> 2 else first_degree_premature_chd or first_degree_ldl_gt_95th -> 1; clinical: premature_chd -> 2 else premature_cerebral_or_pvd -> 1; physical: tendon_xanthoma -> 6 else corneal_arcus_age_lt_45 -> 4; ldl mmol/L: >8.5 -> 8, 6.5-8.4 -> 5, 5.0-6.4 -> 3, 4.0-4.9 -> 1; dna causative_mutation_ldlr_apob_pcsk9 -> 8; max 26; definite >8, probable 6-8, possible 3-5, unlikely 0-2
```

## Worked example

### LDL 9.0 mmol/L with tendon xanthoma is definite FH

Given: `causative_mutation_ldlr_apob_pcsk9=false, child_ldl_gt_95th=false, corneal_arcus_age_lt_45=false, first_degree_ldl_gt_95th=false, first_degree_premature_chd=false, first_degree_xanthoma_or_arcus=false, ldl_mmol_l=9.0, premature_cerebral_or_pvd=false, premature_chd=false, tendon_xanthoma=true`

1. ldl_mmol_l 9.0 > 8.5 → ldl_points 8
2. tendon_xanthoma true → physical_points 6 (max of the physical group)
3. family, clinical, and DNA groups 0 → score 14 (max 26); classification definite

## Parameters

- `ldl_mmol_l` (number, optional): LDL cholesterol in mmol/L (1-20). Nordestgaard 2013 Table 1 bands: >8.5 → 8, 6.5-8.4 → 5, 5.0-6.4 → 3, 4.0-4.9 → 1. Provide exactly one of ldl_mmol_l or ldl_mg_dl. magent does not assay lipids.
- `ldl_mg_dl` (number, optional): LDL cholesterol in mg/dL (40-800). Converted to mmol/L as mg/dL / 38.67, then scored on the mmol/L bands. Provide exactly one lipid parameter.
- `first_degree_premature_chd` (boolean, required): First-degree relative with premature coronary heart disease (Nordestgaard 2013 Table 1 family history, 1 point). true or false as assigned by the caller. magent does not take a pedigree. Either this or first_degree_ldl_gt_95th scores 1 for the family group; a 2-point family item still yields family 2, not 3.
- `first_degree_ldl_gt_95th` (boolean, required): First-degree relative with LDL cholesterol above the 95th percentile (Nordestgaard 2013 Table 1 family history, 1 point). true or false as assigned by the caller. magent does not assay lipids or take a pedigree.
- `first_degree_xanthoma_or_arcus` (boolean, required): First-degree relative with tendon xanthoma and/or arcus cornealis (Nordestgaard 2013 Table 1 family history, 2 points). true or false as assigned by the caller. magent does not examine relatives. Either this or child_ldl_gt_95th scores 2 for the family group (max of family items).
- `child_ldl_gt_95th` (boolean, required): Child under 18 years with LDL cholesterol above the 95th percentile (Nordestgaard 2013 Table 1 family history, 2 points). true or false as assigned by the caller. magent does not assay lipids or take a pedigree.
- `premature_chd` (boolean, required): Premature coronary heart disease in the subject (Nordestgaard 2013 Table 1 clinical history, 2 points; men <55 years / women <60 years as assigned by the caller). true or false. magent does not diagnose CHD or compute age or sex. If premature_cerebral_or_pvd is also true, the clinical group is 2, not 3.
- `premature_cerebral_or_pvd` (boolean, required): Premature cerebral or peripheral vascular disease in the subject (Nordestgaard 2013 Table 1 clinical history, 1 point). true or false as assigned by the caller. magent does not diagnose vascular disease.
- `tendon_xanthoma` (boolean, required): Tendon xanthoma in the subject (Nordestgaard 2013 Table 1 physical examination, 6 points). true or false as assigned by the caller. magent does not examine tendons. If corneal_arcus_age_lt_45 is also true, the physical group is 6, not 10.
- `corneal_arcus_age_lt_45` (boolean, required): Arcus cornealis before age 45 years (Nordestgaard 2013 Table 1 physical examination, 4 points). true or false as assigned by the caller. magent does not examine the cornea or compute age.
- `causative_mutation_ldlr_apob_pcsk9` (boolean, required): Causative mutation in LDLR, APOB, or PCSK9 as assigned by the caller (Nordestgaard 2013 Table 1 DNA analysis, 8 points). true or false. magent does not sequence genes. Mutation alone is probable (score 8), not definite.

## 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/dutch_fh`
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": [
    {
      "causative_mutation_ldlr_apob_pcsk9": "false",
      "child_ldl_gt_95th": "false",

## Errors

- HTTP 400 `invalid_dutch_ldl`: provide exactly one of ldl_mmol_l (1-20) or ldl_mg_dl (40-800) (Nordestgaard 2013 DLCN). 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.

## Related tools

- [Simon Broome](https://magentlab.com/docs/simon-broome) — Apply the 1991 Simon Broome Register adult definite familial hypercholesterolaemia rule and return definite or not_definite from one lipid value plus a caller-assigned tendon-xanthoma flag.
- [MEDPED](https://magentlab.com/docs/medped) — Apply the Williams 1993 US MEDPED total cholesterol tables and return whether caller-supplied total cholesterol exceeds the cutoff for that age and relative degree. Not a diagnosis.

## 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).

Shared HTTP 402 and 503 table: https://magentlab.com/docs/payments

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.
