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

## What it computes

Sum the eight Campbell 2010 RDOS observer-rated items (each a caller-assigned integer 0-2) and return the published total (max 16).

## When to use

When an agent has already assigned Campbell 2010 item integers for a patient unable to self-report dyspnea and needs the published 0-16 total, not a later intensity cutoff, opioid order, or oxygen order.

## When not to use

- Not a medical device and not an opioid or oxygen order.
- Each of the eight items is a caller-assigned integer 0, 1, or 2 from Campbell 2010. magent does not observe the patient and does not convert raw beats/min or breaths/min.
- Campbell 2010 published the 0-16 instrument. magent does not apply later cutoff papers.

## Formula

```
RDOS = heart_rate + respiratory_rate + restlessness + paradoxical_breathing + accessory_muscle_use + grunting + nasal_flaring + look_of_fear; each caller-assigned 0-2; max 16
```

## Worked example

### All items 0

Given: `accessory_muscle_use=0, grunting=0, heart_rate=0, look_of_fear=0, nasal_flaring=0, paradoxical_breathing=0, respiratory_rate=0, restlessness=0`

1. heart_rate 0 + respiratory_rate 0 + restlessness 0 + paradoxical_breathing 0 + accessory_muscle_use 0 + grunting 0 + nasal_flaring 0 + look_of_fear 0
2. Score = 0 (max 16)


### All items 2

Given: `accessory_muscle_use=2, grunting=2, heart_rate=2, look_of_fear=2, nasal_flaring=2, paradoxical_breathing=2, respiratory_rate=2, restlessness=2`

1. heart_rate 2 + respiratory_rate 2 + restlessness 2 + paradoxical_breathing 2 + accessory_muscle_use 2 + grunting 2 + nasal_flaring 2 + look_of_fear 2
2. Score = 16 (max 16)

## Parameters

- `heart_rate` (integer, required): Caller-assigned Campbell 2010 heart_rate points (integer 0-2). Paper bins: ≤90 beats/min → 0; 91–110 → 1; ≥111 → 2. magent does not convert raw beats/min and does not observe the patient.
- `respiratory_rate` (integer, required): Caller-assigned Campbell 2010 respiratory_rate points (integer 0-2). Paper bins: ≤18 breaths/min → 0; 19–28 → 1; ≥29 → 2. magent does not convert raw breaths/min and does not observe the patient.
- `restlessness` (integer, required): Caller-assigned Campbell 2010 restlessness (nonpurposeful movements) points (integer 0-2): 0 none; 1 occasional, slight movements; 2 frequent movements. magent does not observe the patient.
- `paradoxical_breathing` (integer, required): Caller-assigned Campbell 2010 paradoxical_breathing points (integer 0-2). Paper scores 0 none or 2 present (abdomen moves in on inspiration); there is no 1-point cell. magent does not observe the patient.
- `accessory_muscle_use` (integer, required): Caller-assigned Campbell 2010 accessory_muscle_use (rise in clavicle during inspiration) points (integer 0-2): 0 none; 1 slight rise; 2 pronounced rise. magent does not observe the patient.
- `grunting` (integer, required): Caller-assigned Campbell 2010 grunting at end-expiration (guttural sound) points (integer 0-2). Paper scores 0 none or 2 present; there is no 1-point cell. magent does not observe the patient.
- `nasal_flaring` (integer, required): Caller-assigned Campbell 2010 nasal_flaring (involuntary movement of nares) points (integer 0-2). Paper scores 0 none or 2 present; there is no 1-point cell. magent does not observe the patient.
- `look_of_fear` (integer, required): Caller-assigned Campbell 2010 look_of_fear points (integer 0-2). Paper scores 0 none or 2 eyes wide open, facial muscles tense, brow furrowed, mouth open, teeth together; there is no 1-point cell. 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.

Method: `POST /api/calc/rdos`
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": [
    {
      "accessory_muscle_use": "0",
      "grunting": "0",
      "heart_rate": "0",

## Errors

- HTTP 400 `invalid_rdos`: heart_rate, respiratory_rate, restlessness, paradoxical_breathing, accessory_muscle_use, grunting, nasal_flaring, and look_of_fear must each be an integer 0, 1, or 2 (Campbell 2010 RDOS). 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.

## 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).

Stdio MCP (one process per host): https://magentlab.com/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.
