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

## What it computes

Sum the Donze 2013 HOSPITAL integer score (acronym table, max 13) from caller-assigned flags and prior-year admissions and return the derivation-study band (low / intermediate / high).

## When to use

When an agent needs the published HOSPITAL point total and must not invent a discharge order, a diagnosis, or a measured 30-day readmission percent.

## When not to use

- Not a medical device and not a discharge, admission, or follow-up order. magent does not examine the patient or read the chart.
- Not a diagnosis. The published outcome is potentially avoidable 30-day readmission (SQLape), not all-cause readmission.
- Hemoglobin <12 g/dL and sodium <135 mmol/L are caller-assigned flags. magent does not assay labs or accept hemoglobin or sodium numbers.
- Risk bands 0–4 low, 5–6 intermediate, ≥7 high follow the Donze 2013 derivation study. magent returns the band only, not a measured readmission percent for this discharge.

## Formula

```
HOSPITAL = hemoglobin_lt_12 (1) + oncology_service (2) + sodium_lt_135 (1) + procedure (1) + urgent_or_emergent_admission (1) + admissions_12mo (0-1: 0, 2-5: 2, >5: 5) + los_ge_5_days (2); Donze 2013 acronym table; max 13; 0-4 low, 5-6 intermediate, >=7 high
```

## Worked example

### All flags absent, no prior-year admissions

Given: `admissions_12mo=0, hemoglobin_lt_12=false, los_ge_5_days=false, oncology_service=false, procedure=false, sodium_lt_135=false, urgent_or_emergent_admission=false`

1. All HOSPITAL flags false; admissions_12mo 0 → 0
2. Score = 0 (max 13); risk_band low


### All HOSPITAL items at published maximum

Given: `admissions_12mo=6, hemoglobin_lt_12=true, los_ge_5_days=true, oncology_service=true, procedure=true, sodium_lt_135=true, urgent_or_emergent_admission=true`

1. H 1 + O 2 + S 1 + P 1 + I 1 + A >5 → 5 + L 2
2. Score = 13 (max 13); risk_band high. Band only; not a measured percent.

## Parameters

- `hemoglobin_lt_12` (boolean, required): Last hemoglobin <12 g/dL as assigned by the caller (Donze 2013 H). true scores 1. magent does not assay hemoglobin. Do not send a hemoglobin number.
- `oncology_service` (boolean, required): Discharge from an oncology service as assigned by the caller (Donze 2013 O). true scores 2.
- `sodium_lt_135` (boolean, required): Last sodium <135 mmol/L as assigned by the caller (Donze 2013 S). true scores 1. magent does not assay sodium. Do not send a sodium number.
- `procedure` (boolean, required): Any ICD-coded procedure during the stay as assigned by the caller (Donze 2013 P). true scores 1. magent does not read the chart.
- `urgent_or_emergent_admission` (boolean, required): Index admission type urgent or emergent, not elective, as assigned by the caller (Donze 2013 I). true scores 1.
- `admissions_12mo` (integer, required): Hospital admissions during the previous year (integer 0-50, magent clamp). Donze 2013 A: 0-1 scores 0; 2-5 scores 2; >5 scores 5. Count 0 and 1 both score 0; 2 scores 2; 5 scores 2; 6 scores 5.
- `los_ge_5_days` (boolean, required): Length of stay ≥5 days as assigned by the caller (Donze 2013 L). true scores 2. magent does not compute length of stay from dates.

## 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/hospital`
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": [
    {
      "admissions_12mo": "0",
      "hemoglobin_lt_12": "false",
      "los_ge_5_days": "false",
      "oncology_service": "false",
      "procedure": "false",

## Errors

- HTTP 400 `invalid_flag`: boolean clinical flags must be true or false Returned before settlement; you are not charged.
- HTTP 400 `invalid_admissions_12mo`: admissions_12mo must be an integer from 0 to 50 (Donze 2013 prior-year count; magent clamp). Returned before settlement; you are not charged.
- HTTP 400 `invalid_hospital`: each HOSPITAL 2013 item must be a published value for that field. 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.

## 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).

## 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.
