Read-only. For just your ID and name, whoami is cheaper. ### `get_my_settings` (~47 tokens) Get My Settings Get your account-level Canvas preferences, such as dashboard view, activity stream visibility and comment notification settings. Read-only. For how often you are notified about each event, use get_notification_preferences. ### `check_token_expiry` (~53 tokens) Check Token Expiry Check when your Canvas access token expires and warn if it is close.

Input parameters: - `days` (integer): Default 30 - `min_items` (integer): Default 2 ### `study_priority_ranking` (~60 tokens) Study Priority Ranking Rank everything due soon across all courses by a priority score that combines grade impact, urgency and how weak your standing is in that course. Read-only. The formula is included so you can judge it. Input parameters: - `days` (integer): Default 14 ### `download_all_course_files` (~149 tokens) Download All Course Files Download every file you can access in a course to local disk, up to max_files (default 50). Writes local files only; nothing changes in Canvas. Can take many requests and a lot of disk space; use download_file for one file. Input parameters: - `content_types` (array): Optional MIME types to include, e.g. ["application/pdf"]. Omit for every file. - `course_id` (string, required): Canvas course ID, a numeric string such as "12345". Get it from list_courses. - `dest_dir` (string): Local folder to save into. Defaults to the server's download folder (CANVAS_DOWNLOAD_DIR). - `max_files` (integer): Default 50 ### `export_course_archive` (~116 tokens) Export Course Archive Export a whole course, wait for Canvas to package it, then download the .imscc archive to local disk. Nothing in the course changes. Can take several minutes; use it before a term ends and access disappears. Input parameters: - `course_id` (string, required): Canvas course ID, a numeric string such as "12345". Get it from list_courses. - `dest_dir` (string): Local folder to save into. Defaults to the server's download folder (CANVAS_DOWNLOAD_DIR). - `timeout_seconds` (integer): Default 300 ### `semester_wrap_up` (~63 tokens) Semester Wrap Up End-of-term checklist for every active course: current and final grades, missing work, anything still due before the course ends, and how many days until the course (and your access to its files) may close. Read-only; use export_all_courses to save copies. ### `export_all_courses` (~123 tokens) Export All Courses Ask Canvas to package every active course (or the ones you pick) as a downloadable .imscc archive, in one step. Nothing in the courses changes. Use before the term ends. [IRREVERSIBLE: call without confirm=true first to preview, then re-call with confirm=true. Apps that can ask the user directly will show a confirmation instead.] Input parameters: - `confirm` (boolean): Must be true to actually execute. Omit or set false to get a dry-run preview first. - `course_ids` (array): Course IDs; omit for all active courses. ### `raw_canvas_request` (~170 tokens) Raw Canvas Request Call any Canvas REST API endpoint directly, for anything the other tools don't cover. GET is read-only. POST, PUT and DELETE can change data: they are blocked when CANVAS_ALLOW_WRITES=false, need confirm=true, and quiz-submission writes are always refused. Input parameters: - `body` (object): JSON body for POST/PUT - `confirm` (boolean): Required for POST/PUT/DELETE - `max_items` (integer): With paginate=true, stop after this many items. Default 200. - `method` (string, required): HTTP method - `paginate` (boolean): Follow Link headers and collect all pages (GET only) - `params` (object): Query parameters - `path` (string, required): API path after /api/v1, e.g. '/users/self/enrollments' ### `search_tools` (~123 tokens) Search Tools Search this server's tools by keyword and return matching names with one-line descriptions. Read-only, makes no Canvas calls and works before a token is set. Use it to find the right tool among the 200+ available. Input parameters: - `group` (string): Optional group: identity, courses, assignments, submissions, grades, quizzes, discussions, inbox, calendar, content, groups, rubrics, search, planner, planning or meta. - `query` (string): Keyword to look for in tool names and descriptions, e.g. "grade". Omit to list everything. ### `test_connection` (~49 tokens) Test Connection Check the token, school URL and access end to end: identity, courses, planner, inbox and missing submissions, and report any features your school disabled. Read-only. Run this first if anything fails. ### `get_server_config` (~66 tokens) Get Server Config Show this server's settings (school URL, profile, write mode, cache, time zone, download folder) and whether a token is present, without revealing it. Read-only, makes no Canvas calls and works before a token is set, so use it first to diagnose setup problems. ## Diagnostics Captured diagnostic sections: Provenance, Dependencies.
