Tools (31)

Read from the source code; the running server may differ. Descriptions are the server’s own words; hidden characters are shown as [U+…].

check_authCheck Authentication Status
Verify whether the server can talk to Brightspace on your behalf. Use when the user asks if they are logged in, or when other tools return auth errors.
clear_cacheClear Cache
Clear cached responses. Use when the user asks to refresh data, or when tools return stale values. Scope: "all" (default), "http", or "courses".
get_announcementGet Announcement
Return one announcement in full (body as text with links kept) and its attachments; with attachment_id, return that attachment's content (PDF/Office/text extracted), optionally saving it to save_to. Use after get_announcements when an excerpt is truncated or an announcement has attachments.
get_announcementsGet Announcements
Return course announcements, pinned first then newest first, each with its id, date, author, a ~300 character excerpt and its attachments. Use when the user asks "what did the professor post" or wants recent news from a class. Read a truncated announcement in full with get_announcement.
get_assignment_filesGet Assignment Files
Download and read the attachments (instructions, templates) posted on a Brightspace assignment. Returns the text content of DOCX files and file info for other formats. Pass save_to with a folder path (~/..., %VAR%\..., or absolute) to also save each binary to disk. Use when the user asks "what do I have to do", "download the assignment", or "read the instructions".
get_assignment_rubricGet Assignment Rubric
Return the grading rubric of an assignment: criteria groups, criteria, levels, points and level descriptions. Use when the user asks how an assignment will be graded or what each criterion requires.
get_assignmentsGet Assignments
List assignments (Brightspace Dropbox Folders) for a course. Use when the user asks what they need to turn in or for a specific class. Defaults to upcoming only; pass include_past=true to see everything.
get_audit_logGet Audit Log
Return the local audit history of write attempts (submit_assignment, post_discussion_reply, mark_announcement_read). Read-only — no writes-gate required. Optionally filter by tool name and/or `since` ISO timestamp. Use when the user asks "what did I submit today" or for compliance review.
get_calendar_eventsGet Calendar Events
Return course calendar events within the next N days (default 30). Useful for seeing exams, lectures, or instructor-scheduled events. Use when the user asks about scheduled events, exam dates, or class meetings.
get_classlist_emailsGet Classlist Emails
Return the email addresses for everyone enrolled in a course. Use when the user wants a mailing list or to contact the class.
get_course_contentGet Course Content
Return the course module tree with topics (files, links, quizzes, LTI tools, etc.), plus a short excerpt of each module description and the file links it contains (some courses keep all their material in module descriptions). Use when the user asks what materials are posted or wants to navigate modules. Follow up with get_topic_file (topic id), get_module (module_id) or get_course_file (/content/enforced/... path).
get_course_fileGet Course File
Download and read a file stored in the course content area (/content/enforced/{course}-.../file.pdf) — the PDFs, slides and documents linked or embedded inside HTML topics and module descriptions. Pass the path exactly as shown by get_course_content, get_module or get_topic_file. Only files of that same course are allowed. Same text extraction as get_topic_file; pass save_to to keep the raw file.
get_diagnosticsGet Diagnostics
Return a JSON report of server state: profile, base URL, discovered D2L versions, cache hit/miss counters, and HTTP request timing stats. Use when the user reports slowness or the LLM detects stale data.
get_discussionsGet Discussions
Return the list of discussion forums and topics for a course, with post counts and last-post timestamps. Use when the user asks about class discussions or wants to see what conversations are happening.
get_feedbackGet Feedback
Return the instructor feedback for a single assignment in a given course. Use when the user asks about comments, score, or grading on a specific submission.

Show 16 more tools

get_moduleGet Module
Return one content module in full: its complete description text, every link or embedded file it contains, its topics and submodules. Use when get_course_content shows a module_id with a truncated description, or the material lives in the module description.
get_my_gradesGet My Grades
Return grades for a specific course by numeric course id. Use when the user asks about their grade, score, or standing in a class. Defaults to compact format; pass format="detailed" for points breakdown.
get_my_groupsGet My Groups
List the groups you are enrolled in for a course (with member names). Useful for group projects: "who's in my group?" or finding the right grpid for a submission.
get_my_submissionsGet My Submissions
List the files the user (or their group) submitted to an assignment, newest first — works for open and closed folders. With file_name, returns the content of that submitted file; with save_to, downloads the files to a local directory. Use when the user wants to check, re-read or recover something they already turned in.
get_quiz_attemptsGet Quiz Attempts
List your attempts on a single quiz with scores and submission status. Use when the user asks "what did I get on the X quiz" or "have I started Y yet".
get_rosterGet Roster
List classmates, instructors, and TAs for a given course. Use when the user asks who is in a class or wants contact info. role_filter: "all" (default), "student", "instructor", "ta".
get_syllabusGet Syllabus
Return the course syllabus (overview page) as plain text. When the overview is not published, lists where the syllabus likely is in course content (ranked topics, modules, linked files) with the exact get_topic_file / get_course_file / get_module call to read it. Use when the user wants to know course expectations, grading scheme, or what the class covers.
get_topic_fileGet Topic File
Download and read a content topic file from a Brightspace course. Use get_course_content first to find the topic id (shown as id=XXXX next to each topic). Use when the user wants to read a specific file posted in the course content (PDF, DOCX, XLSX/XLSM, PPTX, HTML pages, notebooks, CSV/text; images are returned as images). Link / quiz / LTI topics return their URL instead of a file. Pass save_to with an absolute or ~/... path to also save the raw file to disk (e.g. ~/Downloads/file.xlsx).
get_upcoming_due_datesGet Upcoming Due Dates
Return assignments and quizzes with due dates across all active courses within the next N days (default 14). Use when the user asks "what is due" or wants a cross-course overview.
list_my_coursesList My Courses
List enrolled courses. Use when the user asks about their classes, semester, or what they are taking. Defaults to current courses only (access window not yet ended, or undated but opened recently / same term code); pass active_only=false for the full history. Each course shows its id for use with other tools.
list_notificationsList Notifications
Show your Brightspace activity feed (announcements, due-date reminders, grade releases, etc.). Pass unread_only=true to filter. Defaults to last 25 notifications.
list_quizzesList Quizzes
List quizzes for a course with attempt counts, time limits, and close dates. Read-only — no quiz answers or questions are exposed (intentionally). Use when the user asks "what quizzes do I have", "what's due in X class", or about attempt history.
mark_announcement_readMark Announcement Read
Mark a Brightspace announcement as read. Writes: require --enable-writes + config writes.enabled: true.
post_discussion_replyPost Discussion Reply
Reply to a Brightspace discussion topic. Writes: require --enable-writes + config writes.enabled: true.
search_courseSearch Course
Full-text search across course content, announcements, and discussion forums. Returns ranked snippets. Use when the user asks "where did the prof mention X" or "is there anything about Y in this class".
submit_assignmentSubmit Assignment
Upload a file to a Brightspace Dropbox Folder. Pass either `file_path` (recommended for files >1 MB — read server-side, saves tokens) or `content_base64`. Writes: require --enable-writes + config writes.enabled: true.
