Not a medical device. Not a diagnosis, dose, or listing recommendation.
What it computes
Apply the Terrapon 2021 Therapy-Disability-Neurology grade and return tdn_grade 1-5 as the maximum of caller-assigned therapy, mapped mRS disability, and new-deficit neurology grades.
When to use
When an agent already has a caller-assigned therapy intensity (t1-t5), modified Rankin 0-6, and whether a new neurologic deficit occurred, and needs the published TDN grade. magent does not grade the adverse event.
When not to use
- Not a medical device and not a diagnosis. magent does not examine the patient and does not grade the adverse event; the caller assigns therapy, modified Rankin, and new deficit.
- Not Clavien-Dindo alone. TDN grades therapy, disability, and neurology together; the overall grade is the maximum of the three dimensions.
- Disability uses modified Rankin 0-6 including death (6). This is not van Swieten 1988 modified Rankin 0-5, which omits death.
- Therapy t5 or disability_mrs 6 is always TDN grade 5 (death).
Formula
tdn_grade = max(T, D, N); T is therapy t1-t5 (t1 no treatment beyond antiemetics, antipyretics, analgesics, diuretics, electrolytes, physiotherapy, bedside wound opening; t2 pharmacologic including transfusion or TPN; t3 invasive procedure; t4 life-threatening ICU; t5 death); D maps disability_mrs 0-1→1, 2-3→2, 4→3, 5→4, 6→5; N is 2 if new_neurologic_deficit else 1; if therapy is t5 or disability_mrs is 6, tdn_grade is 5 (Terrapon 2021)

Worked example
TDN 1
Given:
disability_mrs=0new_neurologic_deficit=falsetherapy=t1
- therapy t1 maps to T=1
- disability_mrs 0 maps to D=1
- new_neurologic_deficit false maps to N=1
- tdn_grade = max(1, 1, 1) = 1
TDN 2
Given:
disability_mrs=1new_neurologic_deficit=truetherapy=t2
- therapy t2 maps to T=2
- disability_mrs 1 maps to D=1
- new_neurologic_deficit true maps to N=2
- tdn_grade = max(2, 1, 2) = 2
TDN 3
Given:
disability_mrs=4new_neurologic_deficit=falsetherapy=t3
- therapy t3 maps to T=3
- disability_mrs 4 maps to D=3
- new_neurologic_deficit false maps to N=1
- tdn_grade = max(3, 3, 1) = 3
TDN 4
Given:
disability_mrs=5new_neurologic_deficit=falsetherapy=t2
- therapy t2 maps to T=2
- disability_mrs 5 maps to D=4
- new_neurologic_deficit false maps to N=1
- tdn_grade = max(2, 4, 1) = 4
TDN 5
Given:
disability_mrs=0new_neurologic_deficit=falsetherapy=t5
- therapy t5 maps to T=5 (death)
- disability_mrs 0 maps to D=1
- new_neurologic_deficit false maps to N=1
- therapy t5 forces tdn_grade 5

Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
therapy |
string | required · t1, t2, t3, t4, t5 | Terrapon 2021 Therapy dimension as assigned by the caller. t1 no treatment or intervention beyond antiemetics, antipyretics, analgesics, diuretics, electrolytes, physiotherapy, or bedside wound opening (T=1). t2 pharmacologic treatment including blood transfusion or TPN (T=2). t3 invasive procedure, surgical, endoscopic, or radiologic (T=3). t4 life-threatening, ICU management (T=4). t5 death (T=5). magent does not grade the adverse event. |
disability_mrs |
integer | required | Modified Rankin 0-6 as assigned by the caller, including death as 6. Maps to Disability D: 0-1→1, 2-3→2, 4→3, 5→4, 6→5. This is not van Swieten 1988 modified Rankin 0-5, which omits death. magent does not interview the patient. |
new_neurologic_deficit |
boolean | required | New neurologic deficit as assigned by the caller (Terrapon 2021 Neurology dimension). true or false. false is N=1; true is N=2. magent does not examine 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.

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.
