What it computes
Sum the Psallidas 2018 Table 2A clinical PROMISE points (previous chemotherapy and radiotherapy, haemoglobin, WBC, CRP, ECOG, cancer type) and return group A-D 3-month mortality bands.
When to use
When an agent already has caller-assigned previous chemotherapy and radiotherapy flags, haemoglobin g/dL, serum WBC as 10^9/L, CRP mg/L, ECOG 0-4, and a cancer type token (mesothelioma, lung, or other), and must not invent a diagnosis, pleurodesis or chemotherapy order, or biological PROMISE/TIMP1 result. magent does not assay labs or assign ECOG.
When not to use
- Not a medical device and not a diagnosis or treatment order. magent does not assay labs or assign ECOG.
- Clinical PROMISE only (Psallidas 2018 Table 2A). Not biological PROMISE. No TIMP1 input.
- Not a pleurodesis success score and not a chemotherapy or radiotherapy order.
- CRP is mg/L (0-500), not IU/L. magent does not convert CRP units.
- 3-month mortality percents are published Table 2A group bands, not a prognosis assignment.
- The caller assigns chemotherapy, radiotherapy, ECOG 0-4, and cancer type (mesothelioma, lung, or other). magent does not convert Karnofsky or assign cancer type from histology text.
Formula
clinical PROMISE = previous_chemotherapy (no 0, yes 4) + previous_radiotherapy (no 0, yes 2) + haemoglobin_g_dl (≥16 → 0; 14 to <16 → 1; 12 to <14 → 2; 10 to <12 → 3; <10 → 4) + wbc_10e9_l (<4 → 0; 4 to <6.3 → 2; 6.3 to <10 → 4; 10 to <15.8 → 7; ≥15.8 → 10) + crp_mg_l (<3 → 0; 3 to <10 → 3; 10 to <32 → 5; 32 to <100 → 8; ≥100 → 11) + ECOG (0–1 → 0; 2–4 → 7) + cancer_type (mesothelioma → 0; other → 4; lung → 5); Psallidas 2018 Table 2A; groups A 0–20 <25% 3-month mortality, B 21–27 25% to <50%, C 28–35 50% to <75%, D >35 ≥75%

Worked example
No chemo/RT, Hb 15, WBC 8, CRP 20, ECOG 0, other
Given:
cancer_type=otherchemotherapy=falsecrp_mg_l=20ecog=0haemoglobin_g_dl=15.0radiotherapy=falsewbc=8.0
- chemotherapy false → 0; radiotherapy false → 0
- haemoglobin 15.0 (14 to <16) → 1
- WBC 8.0 (6.3 to <10) → 4
- CRP 20 mg/L (10 to <32) → 5
- ECOG 0 → 0; cancer_type other → 4
- score = 1+4+5+4 = 14 (max 43); group A (<25% 3-month mortality)
Chemo+RT, Hb 9, WBC 16, CRP 120, ECOG 3, lung
Given:
cancer_type=lungchemotherapy=truecrp_mg_l=120ecog=3haemoglobin_g_dl=9.0radiotherapy=truewbc=16.0
- chemotherapy true → 4; radiotherapy true → 2
- haemoglobin 9.0 (<10) → 4; WBC 16.0 (≥15.8) → 10; CRP 120 (≥100) → 11
- ECOG 3 (2-4) → 7; cancer_type lung → 5
- score = 4+2+4+10+11+7+5 = 43 (max 43); group D (>=75% 3-month mortality)

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. 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.
