Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| search_course_idsA | Search CVC course IDs at a California community college. Use a college name plus at least one filter. C-ID is the statewide Course Identification Numbering System value; course_symbol is the local code such as COMPSCI001; course_name is a title phrase. This is the preferred, lightweight search. |
| get_courseB | Get a CVC course and its sections, including available seats for each section. |
| scrape_course_idsA | Search CVC course IDs through a headless Chrome browser. This experimental fallback is slower and requires Chrome/Chromium plus a compatible driver. Prefer search_course_ids for ordinary searches. |
| scrape_coursesA | Search CVC in a headless browser and return detailed matching courses. This experimental operation can be slow because it loads a page for every result. It requires Chrome/Chromium and a compatible driver. Prefer search_course_ids followed by get_course when possible. |

Scored across 4 tools
get_course and scrape_courses are clearly distinct, but search_course_ids and scrape_course_ids both search for CVC course IDs and differ mainly by implementation. The descriptions help by marking one as preferred and the other as experimental fallback, but the boundary is still somewhat blurred.
All tools follow a consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern: get_course, search_course_ids, scrape_course_ids, scrape_courses. The verbs vary by operation type, but the structure is uniform and predictable.
Four tools is slightly small but well-scoped for a course search server. Each tool serves a clear retrieval or search purpose, and the count does not feel excessive or artificially padded.
The server covers ID search, course detail retrieval, and a detailed search fallback. A minor gap is the lack of a direct non-scrape detailed course search, but the existing combination of search_course_ids plus get_course and scrape_courses covers the core workflow.
