list_assignments
Read-only
List all assignments in a Canvas course. Filter by bucket (past, overdue, etc.), search term, or IDs, and choose slim (basic fields) or full (all fields) output.
Instructions
List all assignments in a course. Use fields="slim" when enumerating assignments for selection; switch to "full" once you've identified the target. slim returns id, name, due_at, points_possible, published, and course_id only. "full" (default) includes all Canvas fields plus include extras (submission, all_dates, overrides, score_statistics, etc.). Use bucket to filter by past/upcoming/overdue/etc. Other filters: search_term, assignment_ids, order_by.
