# HITS HITS Status: LIVE Price: $0.005 USDC `GET /api/calc/hits` HTML: https://magentlab.com/docs/hits Markdown: https://magentlab.com/docs/hits.md Not a medical device. Not a diagnosis, dose, or listing recommendation. ## What it computes Sum four caller-assigned Sherin 1998 HITS integers (hurt, insult, threaten, scream; each 1-5) and return the published total (4-20) and ≥10 screen. ## When to use When an agent has already assigned Sherin 1998 1-5 integers for hurt, insult, threaten, and scream and needs the published total and ≥10 screen, not a diagnosis of intimate partner violence and not a patient interview. ## When not to use - Not a medical device and not a diagnosis of intimate partner violence. - magent does not interview the patient. - hurt, insult, threaten, and scream are caller-assigned integers 1-5 (never=1 to frequently=5). magent does not interpret the items. - This is Sherin 1998 HITS only (screen-positive at score ≥10). magent does not apply later variants or other IPV instruments. ## Formula ``` HITS = hurt + insult + threaten + scream; each caller-assigned 1-5 (never=1 to frequently=5); max 20; screen-positive at ≥10 ``` ## Citation [HITS: a short domestic violence screening tool for use in a family practice setting](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9669164) Sherin KM, Sinacore JM, Li XQ, Zitter RE, Shakil A Fam Med. 1998;30(7):508-512 DOI: none ## Worked example ### All items never (1) Given: `hurt=1, insult=1, scream=1, threaten=1` 1. hurt 1 + insult 1 + threaten 1 + scream 1 2. Score = 4 (max 20); screen_positive false (threshold is ≥10) ### Score 10 Given: `hurt=4, insult=2, scream=2, threaten=2` 1. Score = 10 2. screen_positive true ## Also searched as - HITS - Hurt Insult Threaten Scream - Sherin HITS - domestic violence screening - HITS score - intimate partner violence screen - family practice HITS - Sherin 1998 HITS ## Parameters - `hurt` (integer, required): Caller-assigned Sherin 1998 HITS Hurt item (integer 1-5; never=1 to frequently=5): how often the partner physically hurt the patient. magent does not interview the patient. - `insult` (integer, required): Caller-assigned Sherin 1998 HITS Insult item (integer 1-5; never=1 to frequently=5): how often the partner insulted or talked down to the patient. magent does not interview the patient. - `threaten` (integer, required): Caller-assigned Sherin 1998 HITS Threaten item (integer 1-5; never=1 to frequently=5): how often the partner threatened the patient with harm. magent does not interview the patient. - `scream` (integer, required): Caller-assigned Sherin 1998 HITS Scream item (integer 1-5; never=1 to frequently=5): how often the partner screamed or cursed at the patient. magent does not interview the patient. ## 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/hits` 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": [ { "hurt": "1", "insult": "1", "scream": "1", "threaten": "1" }, { "hurt": "1", "insult": "1", "scream": "1", "threaten": "1" } ] } ``` Human paywall (two-item fixture): https://api.magentlab.com/paywall/bulk/hits Example 200: ```json { "count": 2, "path": "/api/calc/hits", "items": [ { "components": [ { "value": 1, "factor": "hurt", "points": 1, "present": true }, { "value": 1, "factor": "insult", "points": 1, "present": true }, { "value": 1, "factor": "threaten", "points": 1, "present": true }, { "value": 1, "factor": "scream", "points": 1, "present": true } ], "disclaimer": "Not a medical device.

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. Shared HTTP 402 and 503: https://magentlab.com/docs/payments ## Related tools - [PHQ-9](https://magentlab.com/docs/phq-9) — Sum nine caller-assigned Kroenke 2001 PHQ-9 integers (0-3) and return the published total (max 27), severity cutpoints, and ≥10 screen. - [GAD-7](https://magentlab.com/docs/gad-7) — Sum seven caller-assigned Spitzer 2006 GAD-7 integers (0-3) and return the published 0-21 total, 5/10/15 severity cuts, and ≥10 case-finding flag. - [CAGE](https://magentlab.com/docs/cage) — Sum the four Ewing 1984 CAGE items and return whether two or more answers are affirmative. ## 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.
