What it does
- Every tool is read-only. No write endpoints are wrapped, and inbox threads and discussions are fetched without marking them as read.
- The tools are built around the questions students actually ask: deadlines across all courses, missing work, grade weights, feedback and syllabus policies.
- Output is compact. Canvas HTML becomes plain text, and responses keep only the fields a model needs.
- It runs remotely over Streamable HTTP, so it works in web and mobile clients, not only desktop apps.
- It's stateless. Each request gets a fresh server instance, and nothing is cached or stored.
