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

## What it computes

Sum the five Little 2013 FeverPAIN flags for sore throat and return the published 0-1 / 2-3 / 4-5 score group.

## When to use

When an agent needs the published FeverPAIN point total and must not invent the five findings or a test-or-treat decision.

## When not to use

- Not a medical device.
- Not a test-or-treat order and not a diagnosis of streptococcal pharyngitis.
- The caller assigns the five clinical findings. magent does not examine the throat.
- Bands are published Little 2013 score groups (0-1 / 2-3 / 4-5), not a protocol.

## Formula

```
FeverPAIN = fever_in_past_24h + purulent_tonsils + attends_within_3_days + severely_inflamed_tonsils + no_cough_or_coryza; each 1 if true; max 5
```

## Worked example

### All five flags false

Given: `attends_within_3_days=false, fever_in_past_24h=false, no_cough_or_coryza=false, purulent_tonsils=false, severely_inflamed_tonsils=false`

1. Five findings absent → 0 each
2. Score = 0 (max 5); band 0-1


### All five flags true

Given: `attends_within_3_days=true, fever_in_past_24h=true, no_cough_or_coryza=true, purulent_tonsils=true, severely_inflamed_tonsils=true`

1. Five findings present → 1 each
2. Score = 5 (max 5); band 4-5

## Parameters

- `fever_in_past_24h` (boolean, required): Fever in the past 24 hours (Little 2013). true or false as assigned by the caller.
- `purulent_tonsils` (boolean, required): Purulent tonsils (Little 2013). true or false as assigned by the caller.
- `attends_within_3_days` (boolean, required): Attendance within 3 days of onset (Little 2013). true or false as assigned by the caller.
- `severely_inflamed_tonsils` (boolean, required): Severely inflamed tonsils (Little 2013). true or false as assigned by the caller.
- `no_cough_or_coryza` (boolean, required): Absence of cough or coryza (Little 2013). true when the published finding is present; false otherwise. Assigned by the caller.

## 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/feverpain`
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": [
    {
      "attends_within_3_days": "false",
      "fever_in_past_24h": "false",
      "no_cough_or_coryza": "false",
      "purulent_tonsils": "false",
      "severely_inflamed_tonsils": "false"
    },
    {
      "attends_within_3_days": "false",
      "fever_in_past_24h": "false",
      "no_cough_or_coryza": "false",

    }

## 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 echoing accepted, payload, and extensions when present).
- 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.
