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

## What it computes

Apply NCI CTC v2.0 Mucositis due to radiation (Trotti 2000; CTC 30 April 1999) and return grade 0–4 from a caller-assigned mucosal appearance token. magent does not examine the mucosa.

## When to use

When an agent already has a caller-assigned NCI CTC v2.0 radiation mucositis appearance (none, erythema, patchy_pseudomembrane, confluent_pseudomembrane, or necrosis_or_deep_ulcer) and needs the published grade. Not CTC stomatitis/pharyngitis (chemotherapy oral mucositis), not CTCAE v3/v4/v5, and not WHO mucositis.

## When not to use

- Not a medical device.
- Not a diagnosis. magent does not examine the mucosa. The caller assigns appearance.
- NCI CTC v2.0 Mucositis due to radiation (30 April 1999) only. Not CTC stomatitis or pharyngitis (chemotherapy oral mucositis) grades.
- Not CTCAE v3, v4, or v5 mucositis.
- Not WHO mucositis.
- Grade 5 (death related to toxicity) is not a token. This tool maps appearance to grades 0–4 only.

## Formula

```
nci_ctc_mucositis appearance none → grade 0; erythema → 1 (erythema of the mucosa); patchy_pseudomembrane → 2 (patchy pseudomembranous reaction, patches generally ≤1.5 cm and noncontiguous); confluent_pseudomembrane → 3 (confluent pseudomembranous reaction, contiguous patches generally >1.5 cm); necrosis_or_deep_ulcer → 4 (necrosis or deep ulceration; may include bleeding not induced by minor trauma or abrasion) (NCI CTC v2.0 Mucositis due to radiation; Trotti 2000). Not CTC stomatitis/pharyngitis. Not CTCAE. Not WHO mucositis. magent does not examine the mucosa. Not a diagnosis

## Worked example

### Erythema of the mucosa, grade 1

Given: `appearance=erythema`

1. appearance erythema (erythema of the mucosa, as assigned by the caller)
2. NCI CTC v2.0 Mucositis due to radiation grade is 1

- radiation mucositis grade
- NCI Common Toxicity Criteria mucositis
- Trotti 2000 CTC
- CTC radiation mucositis
- pseudomembranous mucositis
- NCI CTC v2 mucositis

## Parameters

- `appearance` (string, required): NCI CTC v2.0 Mucositis due to radiation appearance as assigned by the caller: none (grade 0), erythema (grade 1, erythema of the mucosa), patchy_pseudomembrane (grade 2, patchy pseudomembranous reaction, patches generally ≤1.5 cm and noncontiguous), confluent_pseudomembrane (grade 3, confluent pseudomembranous reaction, contiguous patches generally >1.5 cm), or necrosis_or_deep_ulcer (grade 4, necrosis or deep ulceration; may include bleeding not induced by minor trauma or abrasion). Case-insensitive. Not CTC stomatitis/pharyngitis. magent does not examine the mucosa.

## 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/nci_ctc_mucositis`
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": [
    {
      "appearance": "erythema"
    },
    {
      "appearance": "erythema"
    }
  ]
}

## Errors

- HTTP 400 `invalid_mucositis_appearance`: appearance must be none, erythema, patchy_pseudomembrane, confluent_pseudomembrane, or necrosis_or_deep_ulcer (NCI CTC v2.0 Mucositis due to radiation). 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.

- [ASTCT CRS](https://magentlab.com/docs/astct-crs) — Apply Lee 2019 ASTCT Table 1 cytokine release syndrome grading and return grade 0–4 from caller-assigned fever, fever waiver, hypotension, and hypoxia. Grade is the more severe of hypotension versus hypoxia. Organ toxicities do not influence grade. Not ICANS.

## 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.
