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

## What it computes

Compute the Rodger 2008 HERDOO2 score (hyperpigmentation, edema, or redness in either leg; D-dimer ≥250 μg/L while on anticoagulants; BMI ≥30; age ≥65) and return whether the derivation classified the patient as low risk (women with score ≤1 only).

## When to use

When an agent needs the published Rodger 2008 HERDOO2 arithmetic after unprovoked VTE and must not invent a duration-of-anticoagulation decision.

## When not to use

- Not a medical device. magent does not diagnose recurrent VTE or assay D-dimer.
- Not a duration-of-anticoagulation order and not a stop-or-continue anticoagulation protocol. low_risk is the Rodger 2008 derivation subgroup, not a treatment instruction.
- Men have no low-risk subgroup in the Rodger 2008 derivation. low_risk is false for every male, including score 0.
- D-dimer is a caller-assigned ≥250 μg/L flag while on anticoagulants. The derivation used a 250 μg/L cut while on warfarin. magent does not name assay brands.
- BMI 30.0 and age 65 each score 1. magent does not compute BMI from height and weight. Recurrence percents are not returned.

## Formula

```
HERDOO2 = her_signs + d_dimer_ge_250 + (bmi_kg_m2>=30) + (age>=65); each 1 if true; max 4; low_risk iff female and score<=1 (men have no low-risk subgroup)
```

## Worked example

### Female, no HERDOO2 factors

Given: `age=40, bmi_kg_m2=22, d_dimer_ge_250=false, her_signs=false, sex=female`

1. her_signs false → 0; d_dimer_ge_250 false → 0; BMI 22 is not ≥30 → 0; age 40 is not ≥65 → 0
2. Score = 0 (max 4); female and score ≤1 → low_risk true


### Male with score 0 is not low risk

Given: `age=40, bmi_kg_m2=22, d_dimer_ge_250=false, her_signs=false, sex=male`

1. All four factors absent → score 0
2. Male → low_risk false regardless of score (no low-risk subgroup in the derivation)

## Parameters

- `sex` (string, required): female or male. low_risk is true only when female and score ≤1. Men have no low-risk subgroup in Rodger 2008.
- `her_signs` (boolean, required): Hyperpigmentation, edema, or redness in either leg (Rodger 2008). Caller-assigned. true or false. 1 point if true.
- `d_dimer_ge_250` (boolean, required): D-dimer ≥250 μg/L while on anticoagulants (Rodger 2008). Caller-assigned; magent does not assay D-dimer. true or false. 1 point if true.
- `bmi_kg_m2` (number, required): Body-mass index in kg/m^2 (10-80). Caller-supplied; magent does not compute BMI from height and weight. Scores 1 when ≥30. Equality at 30.0 meets.
- `age` (integer, required): Age in years (18-120). Scores 1 when ≥65. Age 65 meets (Rodger 2008).

## 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/herdoo2`
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": [
    {
      "age": "40",
      "bmi_kg_m2": "22",
      "d_dimer_ge_250": "false",
      "her_signs": "false",
      "sex": "female"
    },

## 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.
