NameDescription
list_courses_and_gradesA

Fetch every course the user is actively enrolled in as a student, together with the current grade for each. When the institution uses grading periods, the score reported is for the grading period in progress and the whole-course total is included alongside it (see the 'scope' field). Defaults to the current term only.

list_upcoming_assignmentsA

Fetch assignments across the user's active courses that are still outstanding — not submitted, not graded, and not excused — with their due dates, sorted soonest first. Past-due work that was never turned in is included by default.
