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

## What it computes

Echo Chorin 2016 Roth-score measurements (highest number reached counting 1 to 30 in one breath, and elapsed counting time) plus Table 2/discussion threshold flags.

## When to use

When an agent already has caller-measured max_count and counting_time_seconds from a single-breath count to 30 and must not invent a hypoxia class, apply 2021 general-practice cutoffs, or treat the result as a respiratory-distress diagnosis.

## When not to use

- Not a medical device. Not a hypoxia diagnosis, triage order, or respiratory-distress class. magent does not time the patient.
- Caller supplies max_count (integer 1-30, highest number reached) and counting_time_seconds (greater than 0 and at most 60). magent does not administer the count or run a stopwatch.
- Chorin 2016 reports correlations, AUCs, and Table 2 sensitivity/specificity rows without a single diagnostic class. magent echoes the two measurements and discussion-quoted threshold flags (max_count <10, counting_time <7 s, max_count <7, counting_time <5 s). It does not invent a hypoxia class.
- Does not apply 2021 COVID general-practice validation cutoffs.

## Formula

```
echo max_count (integer 1-30) and counting_time_seconds (Equation.round_at 1 decimal); Chorin 2016 Table 2/discussion flags max_count <10, counting_time <7 s, max_count <7, counting_time <5 s; not a hypoxia class
```

## Worked example

### max_count 30, counting_time 12 s

Given: `counting_time_seconds=12, max_count=30`

1. echo max_count = 30
2. counting_time_seconds = 12.0
3. max_count 30 is not <10 or <7; 12.0 s is not <7 s or <5 s; all flags false


### max_count 5, counting_time 3 s

Given: `counting_time_seconds=3, max_count=5`

1. echo max_count = 5
2. counting_time_seconds = 3.0
3. 5 < 10 and 5 < 7; 3.0 s < 7 s and 3.0 s < 5 s; all flags true

## Parameters

- `max_count` (integer, required): Highest number reached counting 1 to 30 in one breath (integer 1-30). Caller supplies the count. magent does not administer the count.
- `counting_time_seconds` (number, required): Elapsed seconds from 1 until the highest number reached (greater than 0 and at most 60). Caller supplies the stopwatch reading. magent does not time 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/roth`
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": [
    {
      "counting_time_seconds": "12",
      "max_count": "30"
    },
    {
      "counting_time_seconds": "12",
      "max_count": "30"
    }
  ]
}
```

## Errors

- HTTP 400 `invalid_roth`: Roth-score inputs must be max_count 1-30 and counting_time_seconds as used in Chorin 2016. 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).

## 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.
