Not a medical device. Not a diagnosis, dose, or listing recommendation.
What it computes
Sum the Shipp 1993 five-factor International Prognostic Index (all ages) and return low (0–1), low_intermediate (2), high_intermediate (3), or high (4–5).
When to use
When an agent needs the published IPI 1993 point total and risk group and must not invent a lymphoma diagnosis or treatment choice, and must not substitute age-adjusted IPI, R-IPI, or NCCN-IPI.
When not to use
- Not a medical device and not a lymphoma diagnosis or treatment choice. magent does not examine the patient.
- This is the five-factor International Prognostic Index for all ages (Shipp / NEJM 1993), not the age-adjusted three-factor IPI for patients ≤60, not R-IPI (Sehn 2007), and not NCCN-IPI.
- magent does not stage lymphoma, count extranodal sites, assign ECOG, or assay LDH. stage_iii_or_iv, extranodal_gt_1, and ldh_gt_uln are caller-assigned flags; ECOG is a caller-assigned integer 0–4.
Formula
IPI = age_gt_60 1 + stage_iii_or_iv 1 + extranodal_gt_1 1 + ecog_ge_2 1 + ldh_gt_uln 1; Shipp 1993; max 5; low 0-1, low_intermediate 2, high_intermediate 3, high 4-5

Worked example
Age 50, no adverse factors
Given:
age=50ecog=0extranodal_gt_1=falseldh_gt_uln=falsestage_iii_or_iv=false
- Age 50 is not >60 → 0; all flags false; ECOG 0 is not ≥2 → 0
- Score = 0 (max 5); ipi_risk = low
Ann Arbor III–IV, extranodal >1, ECOG 2, LDH > ULN
Given:
age=50ecog=2extranodal_gt_1=trueldh_gt_uln=truestage_iii_or_iv=true
- age_gt_60 → 0; stage_iii_or_iv → 1; extranodal_gt_1 → 1; ecog_ge_2 → 1; ldh_gt_uln → 1
- Score = 4 (max 5); ipi_risk = high (4–5)

Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
age |
integer | required | Age in years (18-120). Age >60 scores 1 (Shipp 1993). Age 60 is the ≤60 arm and scores 0. |
stage_iii_or_iv |
boolean | required | Ann Arbor stage III or IV as assigned by the caller (Shipp 1993). true scores 1. magent does not stage lymphoma. |
extranodal_gt_1 |
boolean | required | More than one extranodal site as assigned by the caller (Shipp 1993). true scores 1. magent does not count extranodal sites. |
ecog |
integer | required | ECOG performance status 0-4 as assigned by the caller (Shipp 1993). ≥2 scores 1. magent does not assign ECOG. |
ldh_gt_uln |
boolean | required | Serum LDH above the upper limit of normal as assigned by the caller (Shipp 1993). true scores 1. magent does not assay LDH. |
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.

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.
- 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.
