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

## What it computes

Sum the Thieblemont 2017 three-factor MALT-IPI (IELSG-19) and return low (0), intermediate (1), or high (≥2).

## When to use

When an agent needs the published original MALT-IPI 2017 point total and risk group and must not invent a lymphoma diagnosis or treatment choice, and must not substitute Revised MALT-IPI or Shipp 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 original Thieblemont 2017 MALT-IPI (IELSG-19), not Revised MALT-IPI (no MMS; age is ≥70 not >60), and not Shipp IPI.
- magent does not stage lymphoma or assay LDH. stage_iii_or_iv and ldh_gt_uln are caller-assigned flags.

## Formula

```
MALT-IPI = age_ge_70 1 + stage_iii_or_iv 1 + ldh_gt_uln 1; Thieblemont 2017; max 3; low 0, intermediate 1, high ≥2
```

## Worked example

### Age 50, no adverse factors

Given: `age=50, ldh_gt_uln=false, stage_iii_or_iv=false`

1. Age 50 is not ≥70 → 0; stage_iii_or_iv false → 0; ldh_gt_uln false → 0
2. Score = 0 (max 3); malt_ipi_risk = low


### Age ≥70, Ann Arbor III–IV, and LDH > ULN

Given: `age=70, ldh_gt_uln=true, stage_iii_or_iv=true`

1. age_ge_70 → 1; stage_iii_or_iv → 1; ldh_gt_uln → 1
2. Score = 3 (max 3); malt_ipi_risk = high (≥2)

- extranodal marginal zone lymphoma IPI

## Parameters

- `age` (integer, required): Age in years (18-120). Age ≥70 scores 1 (Thieblemont 2017). Age 69 scores 0. This is not IPI's >60 cutoff.
- `stage_iii_or_iv` (boolean, required): Ann Arbor stage III or IV as assigned by the caller (Thieblemont 2017). true scores 1. magent does not stage lymphoma.
- `ldh_gt_uln` (boolean, required): Serum LDH above the upper limit of normal as assigned by the caller (Thieblemont 2017). 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.

Method: `POST /api/calc/malt_ipi`
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": "50",
      "ldh_gt_uln": "false",
      "stage_iii_or_iv": "false"
    },
    {
      "age": "50",
      "ldh_gt_uln": "false",
      "stage_iii_or_iv": "false"
    }
  ]
}
```

## 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.
