Tools 67 found in our last check

• list_courses

  List the courses the logged-in PLATO account is enrolled in.

• get_course_contents

  Get a course's weekly sections, modules, and file links.

• list_assignments

  List assignments across one or more courses, with due dates.

• get_assignment_detail

  Get one assignment's details and this account's submission status.

• submit_assignment

  Submit text and/or file attachments for an assignment. IRREVERSIBLE once dry_run=False. Call with dry_run=True (default) first, show the preview to the user, and only call again with dry_run=False (same parameters) after they explicitly confirm. Provide text, file_paths/file_con…

• remove_submission

  Withdraw/clear this account's own submission for an assignment. IRREVERSIBLE and DESTRUCTIVE once dry_run=False -- this discards already-submitted work (files/text), not a draft. KNOWN ISSUE: live testing found dry_run=False currently fails with an "invalid parameter" error from…

• get_grades

  Get this account's grade items for a course, if visible.

• get_grades_access_info

  Check what grade-related permissions this account has in a course -- e.g. whether it can see its own grades vs. (as a teacher/TA) everyone's grades. Most student accounts will see canviewallgrades=False.

• list_calendar_events

  List upcoming calendar events within the next `days_ahead` days.

• get_calendar_access_info

  Check this account's calendar-management permissions -- a student account can typically manage its own personal entries only, not course/group entries.

• create_calendar_event

  Create a personal calendar entry. IRREVERSIBLE once dry_run=False. Only personal ("user") events are supported -- course/group events are not something a student account can create. Call with dry_run=True (default) first, show the preview to the user, and only call again with dr…

• delete_calendar_event

  Delete a personal calendar entry this account owns. IRREVERSIBLE once dry_run=False. Call with dry_run=True (default) first, show the preview to the user, and only call again with dry_run=False after they explicitly confirm.

• get_unread_messages

  Get this account's unread PLATO notifications.

• get_unread_notification_count

  Get a count of this account's unread notifications (a cheaper check than get_unread_messages when you don't need the content). Note: PLATO has person-to-person messaging disabled site-wide, so this counts notifications only, not conversation messages.

• list_notices

  List announcements posted to a course's Notices board.

• get_notice_detail

  Get the full text of one notice/announcement.

• list_qna

  List questions posted to a course's Q&A board.

• get_qna_detail

  Get one Q&A question's text. Does not include replies -- see issue #23.

• post_qna_question

  Post a new question to a course's Q&A board. IRREVERSIBLE and VISIBLE to the instructor once dry_run=False (posted as private/secret by default). Call with dry_run=True (default) first, show the preview to the user, and only call again with dry_run=False after they explicitly co…

• download_course_file

  Download a course file (the `fileurl` from get_course_contents). Running locally (stdio, e.g. Claude Code/Desktop): saves the file to `save_path` on this machine and returns the saved path -- `save_path` is required in this case. Running as a remote/hosted server (streamable-htt…

• get_course_completion_status

  Get this account's overall course-completion status, if the course has course-level completion criteria configured. Most courses on this platform don't (available=False, with a message explaining why) -- try get_activity_completion_status for per-activity progress instead, or ge…

• get_activity_completion_status

  Get this account's completion status for every activity/module in a course -- richer than get_course_contents's per-module `completed` flag (includes tracking rules, e.g. 'must view' vs 'must spend N minutes'). For `vod` (video lecture) modules specifically, prefer get_course_co…

• get_upcoming_action_events

  Get Moodle's own "what needs action soon" feed -- assignments due, video lectures with a watch deadline, etc. -- sorted by urgency, from now onward. Unlike combining list_assignments + get_calendar_events, this is Moodle's own cross-activity prioritized view and may surface acti…

• get_courses_by_timeline

  List enrolled courses filtered by Moodle's own timeline classification (in-progress/future/past), based on course start/end dates. Unlike list_courses (which returns everything unfiltered), this answers "what am I actually taking right now" directly.

• get_grades_overview

  Get this account's overall grade for every enrolled course in one call. For the individual grade *items* within one course (e.g. each assignment's score), use get_grades instead -- this tool only returns one summary grade per course.

• list_quizzes

  List quizzes across one or more courses.

• get_quiz_attempts

  Get this account's past attempts at one quiz.

• get_quiz_best_grade

  Get this account's best grade on one quiz, if any attempt has been graded.

• get_quiz_access_information

  Check whether this account can currently attempt a quiz, and why not if blocked (e.g. time window, password, previous attempts exhausted). UNVERIFIED against a real quiz -- call this before start_quiz_attempt and sanity-check the result.

• get_quiz_required_qtypes

  List the question types used in a quiz (e.g. 'multichoice', 'truefalse', 'essay') -- useful to know what kind of answers to expect before starting an attempt.

• get_quiz_feedback_for_grade

  Get the grade-boundary feedback text configured for a quiz at a given grade (e.g. 'You passed!' / 'Please review chapter 3').

• get_quiz_combined_review_options

  Check which review details (marks, feedback, right answers) this account is allowed to see for a quiz's attempts.

• start_quiz_attempt

  Start a new attempt at a quiz. IRREVERSIBLE once dry_run=False -- consumes one of the quiz's limited attempts. UNVERIFIED against a real quiz -- call get_quiz_access_information first and check canattempt/preventaccessreasons. Call with dry_run=True (default) first, show the pre…

• get_quiz_attempt_data

  Get the questions for one page of an in-progress quiz attempt. Each question's `html` is Moodle's own rendered question form -- parse it for the actual answer-field names before calling save_quiz_attempt_responses/process_quiz_attempt. UNVERIFIED against a real quiz.

• get_quiz_attempt_summary

  Get a summary of all questions in an attempt (answered/ unanswered), across all pages. UNVERIFIED against a real quiz.

• get_quiz_attempt_review

  Get the grade and per-question review for a finished quiz attempt. UNVERIFIED against a real quiz.

• save_quiz_attempt_responses

  Save in-progress answers WITHOUT finishing the attempt -- can still be changed later. UNVERIFIED against a real quiz. Call with dry_run=True (default) first, show the preview to the user, and only call again with dry_run=False after they explicitly confirm.

• process_quiz_attempt

  Submit answers for a quiz attempt. IRREVERSIBLE once dry_run=False AND finish_attempt=True -- that is the final, graded submission and cannot be undone. UNVERIFIED against a real quiz. Call with dry_run=True (default) first, show the preview to the user -- especially before fini…

• list_forums

  List standard Moodle forums across one or more courses. NOT the same as PLATO's notice/Q&A board (use list_notices/list_qna for that) -- this covers the separate, less-commonly-used mod_forum module.

• get_forum_discussions

  List discussion threads in one standard Moodle forum.

• get_discussion_posts

  Get all posts in one forum discussion thread.

• add_discussion

  Start a new discussion thread in a forum. IRREVERSIBLE once dry_run=False. Call with dry_run=True (default) first, show the preview to the user, and only call again with dry_run=False after they explicitly confirm.

• add_discussion_post

  Reply to a forum discussion thread. IRREVERSIBLE once dry_run=False. Call with dry_run=True (default) first, show the preview to the user, and only call again with dry_run=False after they explicitly confirm.

• get_course_updates_since

  Get what changed in a course since a given time -- configuration, completion, grades, submissions, etc. Only reports modules that implement Moodle's change-tracking (confirmed: the standard `assign` module does; this platform's own custom lecture-file/board/video modules do not,…

• get_course_module

  Resolve a single course module by its id directly, without fetching and filtering the whole course's contents.

• search_courses

  Get this account's recently-accessed courses, most recent first.

• get_recent_items

  Get this account's recently-accessed course modules (files, assignments, etc.) across all courses, most recent first.

• get_starred_courses

  Get this account's starred/favourited courses, if any.

• list_video_conferences

  List BigBlueButton video-conference activities across one or more courses. Joining a meeting is not supported by this server -- this tool is read-only coverage only. Zoom activities (mod_zoom) are not covered -- no real instance has existed to verify against.

• list_lessons

  List Lesson activities across one or more courses. Taking a lesson (answering pages) is not supported by this server -- this tool is read-only coverage only.

• list_workshops

  List Workshop (peer assessment) activities across one or more courses. Submitting or assessing work is not supported by this server -- this tool is read-only coverage only.

  List Feedback (survey) activities across one or more courses. Responding to a survey is not supported by this server -- this tool is read-only coverage only.

• list_choices

  List Choice (single-question poll) activities across one or more courses. Voting is not supported by this server -- this tool is read-only coverage only.

• list_surveys

  List Survey activities across one or more courses. Answering is not supported by this server -- this tool is read-only coverage only.

  List SCORM packaged-content activities across one or more courses. Launching/tracking a SCORM attempt is not supported by this server -- this tool is read-only coverage only.

• get_private_files_info

  Get a summary (file/folder count, total size) of this account's Moodle private files area.

• get_user_preferences

  Get this account's Moodle user preferences. Note: most of these are internal UI state (e.g. which dashboard sections are collapsed), not information meaningful on its own.

• add_private_file

  Upload a file to this account's Moodle private files area. IRREVERSIBLE once dry_run=False -- no delete tool exists for private files yet, so this permanently adds the file until the user removes it via PLATO's own UI. Only works when this server is running locally (stdio). Call…

• get_my_course_groups

  Get the groups this account belongs to within a course, if any.

• get_enrolled_users
