What it computes
Apply the Thompson 1999 Rome II IBS diagnostic criteria and return supporting_features_met (0-3) and whether the published IBS box holds (rome_ii_ibs).
When to use
When an agent already has the four caller-assigned Rome II IBS flags as in Thompson 1999 and needs whether the published IBS box holds. magent does not examine the patient.
When not to use
- Not a medical device.
- Not a diagnosis. magent does not diagnose irritable bowel syndrome.
- The caller assigns the four flags. magent does not examine the patient.
- This tool is the Thompson 1999 Rome II IBS diagnostic box only. Not Rome III (pain or discomfort at least 3 days per month), not Rome IV (pain at least 1 day per week), not Manning criteria, and not IBS-C/D/M subtype.
Formula
rome_ii_ibs iff pain_or_discomfort_12_weeks_of_12_months and supporting_features_met >= 2; supporting_features_met counts relieved_with_defecation, onset_change_stool_frequency, and onset_change_stool_form (Thompson 1999 Rome II IBS diagnostic criteria)

- At least 12 weeks of abdominal discomfort or pain in the preceding 12 months is true
- Relieved with defecation and change in stool frequency are true; change in stool form is false (2 of 3)
- rome_ii_ibs is true
12-week pain/discomfort with only one supporting feature
Given:
onset_change_stool_form=falseonset_change_stool_frequency=falsepain_or_discomfort_12_weeks_of_12_months=truerelieved_with_defecation=true
- The 12-week pain/discomfort flag holds

Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
pain_or_discomfort_12_weeks_of_12_months |
boolean | required | At least 12 weeks (need not be consecutive) in the preceding 12 months of abdominal discomfort or pain (Thompson 1999). true or false as assigned by the caller. magent does not examine the patient. |
relieved_with_defecation |
boolean | required | Abdominal discomfort or pain relieved with defecation (one of three supporting features; at least two required). true or false as assigned by the caller. |
onset_change_stool_frequency |
boolean | required | Onset associated with a change in frequency of stool (one of three supporting features; at least two required). true or false as assigned by the caller. |
onset_change_stool_form |
boolean | required | Onset associated with a change in form (appearance) of stool (one of three supporting features; at least two required). true or false as assigned by the caller. |
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.
