Not a medical device. Not a diagnosis, dose, or listing recommendation.
What it computes
Sum the Malcovati 2007 WPSS (WHO classification-based prognostic scoring system) for myelodysplastic syndromes and return very_low (0), low (1), intermediate (2), high (3–4), or very_high (5–6).
When to use
When an agent needs the published WPSS point total and risk group and must not invent an MDS diagnosis, transplant listing, or survival estimate, and must not substitute IPSS-R, IPSS 1997, IPSS-M, or DIPSS.
When not to use
- Not a medical device and not an MDS diagnosis, treatment choice, or transplant listing. magent does not examine the patient.
- This is Malcovati 2007 WPSS (WHO 2001 Table 2) only, not Greenberg 2012 IPSS-R, not Greenberg 1997 IPSS, not IPSS-M, and not DIPSS (myelofibrosis).
- magent does not karyotype. cytogenetics is the caller-assigned IPSS three-group class (good, intermediate, poor), not the IPSS-R five-group scale (very_good and very_poor are invalid).
- magent does not assign WHO category. who_mds is the caller-mapped 2001 WHO group (RA/RARS/5q-, RCMD/RCMD-RS, RAEB-1, RAEB-2). Later WHO/ICC entities are not mapped.
- Regular transfusion is a caller-assigned boolean (at least one RBC transfusion every 8 weeks over 4 months). magent does not count units.
- Does not report median overall survival or AML evolution times from the 2007 figures.
Formula
WPSS = WHO (ra_rars_5q 0, rcmd 1, raeb1 2, raeb2 3) + karyotype (good 0, intermediate 1, poor 2) + regular_transfusion 1; Malcovati 2007 Table 2; max 6; very_low 0, low 1, intermediate 2, high 3-4, very_high 5-6

Worked example
RA/RARS/5q-, good karyotype, no regular transfusion
Given:
cytogenetics=goodregular_transfusion=falsewho_mds=ra_rars_5q
- who_mds ra_rars_5q → 0; cytogenetics good → 0; regular_transfusion false → 0
- Score = 0 (max 6); risk_group = very_low
Maximum published score
Given:
cytogenetics=poorregular_transfusion=truewho_mds=raeb2
- who_mds raeb2 → 3; cytogenetics poor → 2; regular_transfusion → 1
- Score = 6 (max 6); risk_group = very_high (5–6)

Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
who_mds |
string | required · ra_rars_5q, rcmd, raeb1, raeb2 | Malcovati 2007 Table 2 WHO 2001 group as assigned by the caller. ra_rars_5q is RA, RARS, or MDS with isolated del(5q) and scores 0. rcmd is RCMD or RCMD-RS and scores 1. raeb1 is RAEB-1 and scores 2. raeb2 is RAEB-2 and scores 3. magent does not assign WHO category. |
cytogenetics |
string | required · good, intermediate, poor | IPSS (Greenberg 1997) cytogenetic group as assigned by the caller (good 0, intermediate 1, poor 2). Not the IPSS-R five-group scale (very_good and very_poor are invalid). magent does not karyotype. |
regular_transfusion |
boolean | required | Regular RBC transfusion requirement as assigned by the caller (Malcovati 2007: at least one RBC transfusion every 8 weeks over 4 months). true scores 1. magent does not count units. |
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.

- IPSS-R — Sum the Greenberg 2012 IPSS-R (revised international prognostic scoring system) for myelodysplastic syndromes and return very_low (≤1.5), low (>1.5–3), intermediate (>3–4.5), high (>4.5–6), or very_high (>6).
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.
