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

## What it computes

Sum ten caller-assigned Webster 1968 items (each integer 0-3) and return the published 0-30 total.

## When to use

When an agent has already assigned Webster 1968 integers 0-3 for the ten clinical items and needs the 0-30 total. magent does not examine the patient or diagnose Parkinson disease.

## When not to use

- Not a medical device and not a Parkinson diagnosis.
- Historical 1968 10-item 0-30 sum. Each item is a caller-assigned integer 0 (normal) to 3 (severe). magent does not examine the patient.
- Not MDS-UPDRS. magent does not invent mild/moderate/severe total-score bands.

## Formula

```
Webster = bradykinesia + rigidity + posture + upper_extremity_swing + gait + tremor + facies + seborrhea + speech + self_care; each caller-assigned integer 0-3; max 30
```

## Worked example

### All items 0

Given: `bradykinesia=0, facies=0, gait=0, posture=0, rigidity=0, seborrhea=0, self_care=0, speech=0, tremor=0, upper_extremity_swing=0`

1. bradykinesia 0 + rigidity 0 + posture 0 + upper_extremity_swing 0 + gait 0 + tremor 0 + facies 0 + seborrhea 0 + speech 0 + self_care 0
2. Score = 0 (max 30)


### All items 3

Given: `bradykinesia=3, facies=3, gait=3, posture=3, rigidity=3, seborrhea=3, self_care=3, speech=3, tremor=3, upper_extremity_swing=3`

1. bradykinesia 3 + rigidity 3 + posture 3 + upper_extremity_swing 3 + gait 3 + tremor 3 + facies 3 + seborrhea 3 + speech 3 + self_care 3
2. Score = 30 (max 30)

## Parameters

- `bradykinesia` (integer, required): Caller-assigned Webster 1968 item, integer 0 (normal) to 3 (severe). magent does not examine the patient.
- `rigidity` (integer, required): Caller-assigned Webster 1968 item, integer 0 (normal) to 3 (severe). magent does not examine the patient.
- `posture` (integer, required): Caller-assigned Webster 1968 item, integer 0 (normal) to 3 (severe). magent does not examine the patient.
- `upper_extremity_swing` (integer, required): Caller-assigned Webster 1968 item, integer 0 (normal) to 3 (severe). magent does not examine the patient.
- `gait` (integer, required): Caller-assigned Webster 1968 item, integer 0 (normal) to 3 (severe). magent does not examine the patient.
- `tremor` (integer, required): Caller-assigned Webster 1968 item, integer 0 (normal) to 3 (severe). magent does not examine the patient.
- `facies` (integer, required): Caller-assigned Webster 1968 item, integer 0 (normal) to 3 (severe). magent does not examine the patient.
- `seborrhea` (integer, required): Caller-assigned Webster 1968 item, integer 0 (normal) to 3 (severe). magent does not examine the patient.
- `speech` (integer, required): Caller-assigned Webster 1968 item, integer 0 (normal) to 3 (severe). magent does not examine the patient.
- `self_care` (integer, required): Caller-assigned Webster 1968 item, integer 0 (normal) to 3 (severe). 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.

Method: `POST /api/calc/webster`
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": [
    {
      "bradykinesia": "0",
      "facies": "0",
      "gait": "0",

## Errors

- HTTP 400 `invalid_webster`: Webster items must each be integers 0-3 as published in Webster 1968. 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.
