What it computes
Sum Nemeth 2020 Table 1 TRiP(cast) points from caller-assigned trauma and immobilization categories, age, sex, BMI, and nine clinical flags, and return high vs low risk at cutoff 7.
When to use
When an agent needs the published TRiP(cast) point total after lower-limb trauma immobilization (Nemeth 2020) and must not invent a thromboprophylaxis order or classify the trauma radiograph.
When not to use
- Not a medical device and not a diagnosis of VTE.
- Not a thromboprophylaxis order. This tool does not recommend a drug or start anticoagulation.
- magent does not classify the trauma radiograph; the caller assigns Nemeth 2020 Table 1 trauma and immobilization categories.
- High vs low uses cutoff 7 as in POT-CAST (Nemeth 2020). Not Caprini, Padua, or IMPROVE VTE.
- BMI is caller-supplied kg/m^2; magent does not compute BMI from height and weight.
Formula
TRiP(cast) = trauma (high 3, intermediate 2, low 1) + immobilization (upper_leg 3, lower_leg 2, foot_cast 1, other_plantar 0) + age (<35: 0, 35-54: 1, 55-74: 2, >=75: 3) + male (1) + BMI (>=35: 2, >=25 and <35: 1, <25: 0) + family_history_vte (2) + personal_history_vte_or_major_thrombophilia (4) + hormonal_estrogenic_treatment (4) + cancer_within_5y (3) + pregnancy_or_puerperium (3) + other_immobilization_3mo (2) + surgery_within_3mo (2) + comorbidity (1) + chronic_venous_insufficiency (1); Nemeth 2020 Table 1; max 34; high_risk iff score >= 7

Worked example
Paper example: age 50 male BMI 30, intermediate trauma, lower-leg cast
Given:

- Age 50 is ≥35 and <55 → 1; male → 1; BMI 30 is ≥25 and <35 → 1
- Intermediate trauma → 2; lower-leg cast → 2; all flags false → 0
- Score = 7 (max 34); high_risk true (cutoff 7)
Same inputs except female is score 6 low_risk
Given:

- Age 50 → 1; female → 0; BMI 30 → 1; intermediate → 2; lower-leg → 2

Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |

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.
