download_dropbox_submission_fileDownload Dropbox Submission File
Download a specific file from a student's (or group's) dropbox submission to an existing local directory (it is not created for you), for an instructor or TA. Use get_dropbox_submissions or get_dropbox_user_submissions first to find submissionId and fileId. Requires instructor or TA access to the course. IMPORTANT: Ask the user where they want to save the file before calling this tool. After identifying the file, suggest a clean readable filename and ask if they'd like to rename it.
download_fileDownload File
Download a file from course content, files linked by path inside a module description (coursePath, from get_course_content's quickLink URLs with type=coursefile), instructor assignment attachments (source: assignmentAttachment with folderId + fileId), assignment submissions, or an announcement's attachments. Use this when the user wants a file from Brightspace course content, dropbox submissions, or an announcement (newsId + fileId, from get_announcements). Two response modes: (1) INLINE (default — omit downloadPath): the file comes back directly in the tool response — extracted text for PDFs …
get_announcement_filesGet Announcement Filesread-only
Read the files an instructor attached to an announcement: prompt questions, a rubric, an updated schedule, slides. Call it with just courseId to see which announcements have attachments, then with newsId and fileId to read one. Use this when the user asks what a file attached to an announcement says. Returns the text itself. Use download_file (newsId + fileId) instead when the user wants the file saved to disk.
get_announcementsGet Announcementsread-only
Fetch announcements from one course with courseId, or all courses when omitted, newest first. count is 1-50 per page. Each body is the full announcement text as markdown (links kept); pagination.truncated only means more announcements remain, never that a body was cut. Continue with offset= pagination.nextOffset until it is null. Pagination metadata is in a separate JSON text block for array responses, or the pagination field with modifiedSince. A false coverageComplete means some courses were not fetched: retry from offset 0 after recovery. Offsets reflect the current filtered list; new posts…
get_assignment_filesGet Assignment Filesread-only
Read the files an instructor attached to an assignment: the spec or instructions PDF, a starter workbook, a rubric document. Call it with just courseId to see which assignments have attachments, then with folderId and fileId to read one. Use this when the user asks what an assignment requires, what the instructions say, or to summarize a handout. Returns the text itself. Use download_file instead when the user wants the file saved to disk.
get_assignment_rubricGet Assignment Rubricread-only
Fetch the full grading rubric for a dropbox assignment: every criteria group, criterion, and achievement level with its points and description, plus the student's own graded outcome per criterion once it has been released. Use this when the user asks what a rubric wants, how an assignment will be graded, or why they got a particular score on a criterion.
get_assignmentsGet Assignmentsread-only
Fetch assignments and quizzes for a specific course or all enrolled courses. Shows dropbox submissions and quizzes with due dates, status, and rubric info. Use this when the user asks about assignments, homework, what to submit, quizzes, or assignment details and rubrics. Read submissionStatus/attemptStatus, not just submission/attemptsUsed, to decide whether something was turned in: some tenants deny students access to submission or attempt data, in which case the status is "unknown" even though submission is null or attemptsUsed is 0. Never report an "unknown" item as missing, unsubmitted, o…
get_calendar_eventsGet Calendar Eventsread-only
Fetch course calendar events — exams, midterms, labs, recitations, review sessions, schedule changes, and deadlines instructors typed straight onto the calendar — across all your courses or one course, in a time window (default: the next 7 days). Use this when the user asks when an exam is, what's on their calendar, or what's happening this week.
get_classlist_emailsGet Classlist Emailsread-only
Fetch all email addresses for everyone in a course — instructors, TAs, and students. Use this when the user wants a list of emails for a class, needs to email the whole class, or wants contact info for everyone enrolled.
get_course_contentGet Course Contentread-only
Fetch the content tree for a course showing modules, topics, files, and links. Use this when the user asks about course materials, lecture slides, uploaded files, content structure, or what's in a course module. Use moduleTitle to filter to a specific module (e.g. 'Labs', 'Staff', 'Homeworks') instead of fetching the entire tree. Use maxDepth to limit recursion depth for a table-of-contents view. A module or topic that isn't currently available carries isAvailable/availabilityStatus/availabilityMessage (and startDate/endDate when known) explaining why; absence of these fields means it's availa…
get_discussionsGet Discussionsread-only
Fetch discussion board content for a course including forums, topics, and posts. Use this when the user asks about discussion boards, forum posts, class discussions, or wants to see what's been posted. Provide just courseId to list all forums and their topics. Add forumId to get topics and posts for a specific forum. Add both forumId and topicId to get all posts in a specific discussion topic.
get_dropbox_feedbackGet Dropbox Feedbackread-only
Retrieve the feedback saved for a dropbox folder — score, graded state, feedback text, and rubric assessment detail. Students: omit entityType and entityId to read your OWN released feedback on an assignment (it is not hidden; use this when get_assignments shows feedback unavailable). Instructors and TAs: pass entityType and entityId to read what is already saved for any user or group, e.g. before drafting new feedback; reading another user's feedback requires instructor or TA access to the course.
get_dropbox_foldersGet Dropbox Foldersread-only
List all assignment/dropbox folders for a course, for an instructor or TA. Returns folder ID, name, due date, start/end dates, submission type, visibility, and whether rubrics are attached. Use this to discover folderId values before calling get_dropbox_submissions, get_dropbox_user_submissions, get_dropbox_feedback, or get_rubrics_for_object. This reads the same folder listing a student's own client uses, so it is not gated to instructor/TA accounts the way get_dropbox_submissions, get_dropbox_feedback, and download_dropbox_submission_file are.
get_dropbox_submissionsGet Dropbox Submissionsread-only
List every student's (or group's) submission to a dropbox folder, for an instructor or TA — submitter names, submission dates, late status, file lists, and feedback/grading status. Use get_dropbox_folders first to find folderId. Requires instructor or TA access; a student account gets a clear note instead of data (a student's own download_file / get_assignments already cover their own submission). Results are capped by limit (default 100, max 1000); a truncated response says so and only fetches feedback for the returned slice.
get_dropbox_user_submissionsGet Dropbox User Submissionsread-only
Retrieve all submissions made by one specific student (or group) in a dropbox folder, for an instructor or TA — useful for reviewing a single student's work before drafting feedback. Use get_dropbox_submissions or get_roster to find the userId first. Requires instructor or TA access to the course.
