Return the Canvas profile the token belongs to. Use to verify the connection works.

List your Canvas courses (active by default) with your role in each. Returns course ids needed by other tools.

Recent activity across all active courses (announcements, new/changed assignments, discussions, grades, messages) since a timestamp. Best tool for a daily check.

Everything with a date in a window across courses: assignments, quizzes, discussions, calendar events, with submission status. Default: today through 14 days ahead.

Assignments in a course with due dates and your submission status.

Full details of one assignment, including the description as text.

Course announcements, newest first. Defaults to all active courses, last 14 days.

Course syllabus / course overview text, if the course uses Canvas's syllabus page.

Course modules with their items (pages, files, assignments, links) — often the week-by-week structure of a course.

Wiki pages in a course (title + url slug for canvas_get_page).

Read a course page as text. Use page_url slug from canvas_list_pages/list_modules, or 'front_page'. File links are shown inline as (file:) and listed in file_links — pass the id to canvas_read_file.

Files in a course, newest first. Uses the course files index when your role may see it; otherwise (common for students) falls back to the files linked from pages, modules, assignments and announcements, like canvas_list_linked_files.

Find the course's files (slides, lab instructions, exercise sheets) by scanning the front page, pages reachable from it and from modules, the syllabus, assignment descriptions, announcements and module items. Works for students, unlike canvas_list_files. Returns file_id, display_name, size, linked_from — pass file_id to canvas_read_file.

Download a course file server-side and return its text: PDF (per page), PPTX (per slide, with speaker notes), DOCX (per section), plain text/code, ZIP (listing). Give file_id, or url = any Canvas file link (e.g. https://canvas.school.edu/courses/1/files/2?verifier=…&wrap=1). Long documents: use pages (e.g. "1-5", "3,8-10") — the output says when it was truncated and which range to request next.

Canvas calendar events (lectures, seminars, exams if teachers added them) in a date range.

Your own submissions in a course (as a student) with scores, grades, late/missing flags and teacher comments.

Escape hatch: GET any Canvas REST endpoint under /api/v1 (read-only). Example path: /api/v1/courses/123/discussion_topics

What changed in your courses since a time, from stored snapshots (taken daily, and refreshed in the background when stale): added/changed/removed pages, assignments (due dates, grades), announcements, discussions, quizzes, events, files (with which PDF pages changed), with old→new field values and short text diffs. Grouped by course, newest first. Times are UTC. Default since: 26 hours ago. The best first call for a daily check.

The stored state of a course from the latest snapshot (no Canvas calls), compact. Use kinds (page, module, assignment, announcement, discussion, quiz, event, syllabus, file) to keep it small, e.g. ["assignment"] for all deadlines and grades.

Health of the snapshot job: courses and your role in each, last run per course, duration, item counts, errors (e.g. 403s), next run, DB size.

Take a snapshot now (read-only GETs to Canvas) for one or all active courses and return the change events it produced. Waits up to wait_s seconds; if it takes longer it continues in the background — check canvas_snapshot_status / canvas_changes_since later.
