What it computes
Sum Graham 2006 Overall Neuropathy Limitations Scale from caller-assigned arm_scale (0-5) and leg_scale (0-7) and return score 0-12. Does not apply unpublished total-score severity bands.
When to use
When an agent already has Graham 2006 ONLS arm and leg integers and needs that published total. magent does not observe the patient, score ODSS, score Adjusted ONLS, or invent mild/moderate/severe bands.
When not to use
- Not a medical device and not a neuropathy diagnosis or treatment order. magent does not observe the patient.
- Each of arm_scale (0-5) and leg_scale (0-7) is a caller-assigned Graham 2006 integer. magent does not examine gait, stairs, running, or listed arm functions.
- This is Graham 2006 ONLS, not ODSS. Leg 0 (no limitations) requires walking, climbing stairs, and running not affected; remaining scoring criteria are not different from ODSS.
- Not BloodSTAR Adjusted ONLS. magent does not drop arm 0 to 1 changes.
- Graham 2006 published no total-score mild/moderate/severe bands. This tool returns score and max_score only.
Formula
ONLS = arm_scale (integer 0-5) + leg_scale (integer 0-7); Graham 2006 modified ODSS; total 0-12; score 0 = no limitations (ceiling); arm 5 or leg 7 = no purposeful movement of that region; leg 0 requires walking, climbing stairs, and running not affected; remaining scoring criteria are not different from ODSS; magent does not observe the patient; no published total-score severity bands

Worked example
Arm 2 and leg 3 is score 5
Given:
arm_scale=2leg_scale=3
- arm_scale 2 as assigned by the caller (disability affecting but not preventing any listed arm function)
- leg_scale 3 as assigned by the caller (unilateral support to walk 10 metres)
- score = 2 + 3 = 5 (max 12). Graham 2006 published no total-score severity band.
Arm 0 and leg 0 is score 0 (no limitations)
Given:
arm_scale=0leg_scale=0
- arm_scale 0 and leg_scale 0 as assigned by the caller
- score = 0 + 0 = 0 (max 12). Score 0 is the published no-limitations ceiling.
Arm 5 and leg 7 is score 12
Given:
arm_scale=5leg_scale=7
- arm_scale 5 as assigned by the caller (both arms preventing all purposeful movements)
- leg_scale 7 as assigned by the caller (wheelchair or bed most of the day, no purposeful leg movements)
- score = 5 + 7 = 12 (max 12). No total-score severity band.

Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
arm_scale |
integer | required · 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 | Caller-assigned Graham 2006 ONLS arm scale (integer 0-5): 0 normal; 1 minor symptoms not affecting listed functions; 2 disability affecting but not preventing any listed function; 3 preventing at least one but not all listed functions; 4 both arms preventing all listed functions but purposeful movement still possible; 5 both arms preventing all purposeful movements. Listed functions: wash and brush hair, turn a key, use knife and fork (or spoon), do/undo buttons or zips, dress the upper body. magent does not observe the patient. |
leg_scale |
integer | required · 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 | Caller-assigned Graham 2006 ONLS leg scale (integer 0-7): 0 walking, climbing stairs, and running not affected; 1 walking/stairs/running affected but gait does not look abnormal; 2 walks independently but gait looks abnormal; 3 requires unilateral support to walk 10 metres; 4 requires bilateral support to walk 10 metres; 5 requires wheelchair to travel 10 metres but able to stand and walk 1 metre with help of one person; 6 restricted to wheelchair, unable to make any purposeful movement of the legs; 7 restricted to wheelchair or bed most of the day, unable to make any purposeful movements of the legs. magent does not observe 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.
- 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.

Opens a two-item fixture on the API host. Unpaid browsers get the same MetaMask paywall as GET; Pay retries POST with those 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. 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.
