What it computes
Apply the MacMahon 2017 Fleischner Society table for a single solid noncalcified incidental pulmonary nodule and return the published follow-up recommendation from average diameter and caller-assigned high versus low clinical risk.
When to use
When an agent already has average diameter in millimetres for one solid incidental nodule and a caller-assigned high_risk flag, and needs the 2017 Fleischner solid-solitary row. magent does not read CT. Not Lung-RADS screening. Not subsolid or multiple nodules.
When not to use
- Not a medical device and not a diagnosis. Not an imaging or biopsy order.
- MacMahon 2017 table for incidental solid solitary noncalcified nodules only. Not subsolid (ground-glass or part-solid) and not multiple nodules.
- Not lung-cancer screening and not Lung-RADS. magent does not measure the nodule or read CT; size_mm is caller-supplied average diameter.
- high_risk is assigned by the caller (for example heavy smoking or other published high-risk features). magent does not compute a risk model.
- Size 1-30 mm is an implementation clamp for a nodule (not a mass). The 2017 guidelines address adults 35 years or older; magent does not take age.
Formula
Single solid noncalcified incidental nodule (MacMahon 2017): size_mm < 6 → no_routine_followup if not high_risk else optional_ct_12_months; 6 <= size_mm <= 8 → ct_6_12_then_consider_18_24 if not high_risk else ct_6_12_then_18_24; size_mm > 8 → consider_ct_3_pet_or_tissue (low or high risk). Not subsolid. Not multiple nodules. Not Lung-RADS screening. magent does not read CT.

Worked example
5 mm solid nodule, not high risk
Given:
high_risk=falsesize_mm=5
- size_mm 5 is < 6 → size_band <6
- high_risk is false → recommendation is no_routine_followup

Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
size_mm |
number | required | Average diameter in millimetres of a single solid noncalcified incidental nodule (1-30). MacMahon 2017 bands: <6, 6-8, and >8. magent does not measure the nodule or read CT. |
high_risk |
boolean | required | High versus low clinical risk as assigned by the caller (for example heavy smoking or other published high-risk features in MacMahon 2017). true or false. magent does not compute a risk model. |
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.
Example request (fixture)

Opens a two-item fixture on the API host. Unpaid browsers get the same MetaMask paywall as GET; Pay retries POST with those 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.
