Capabilities

Tools 38

calculate_ap_score

Predicts a 1-5 AP score from raw section scores using Fiveable's per-subject score calculator, and explains the weighting. Call with no sectionScores to see which sections the subject has and their point maximums, then call again with the student's scores. Cheap.

Discovered
check_practice_answer

Checks one multiple-choice practice answer and returns correctness plus the Fiveable explanation. Works during an anonymous preview but does not save progress. A signed-in answer submission is required for saved progress.

Discovered
create_study_plan

Creates and saves a trackable Fiveable study plan from the student's topic and available time. Included for signed-in students; uses Fiveable's existing generator and verified resource catalog. Returns a plan id immediately while the plan builds, usually within two minutes — read it with get_study_plan, which reports whether it is still building. Reuse requestId with identical input to retry; never call this twice for the same plan.

Discovered
get_assignment_summary

Reads one student-accessible publication's instructions, section counts, timer/due-date settings and released feedback for the policy-selected owned attempt. Does not expose questions or answer keys, finalize timers, repair grading, start, autosave or submit work. Accepts a publicationId from the connected student's assignment listing.

Discovered
get_cheatsheet

Reads bounded pages from a prepared official Fiveable PDF, returning page citations, extracted text and actual page images for formulas and diagrams. Image-only pages have no guessed transcription. Unavailable artifacts return the approved PDF link. This read never starts processing.

Discovered
get_content_sections

Returns a small set of Fiveable study-guide passages relevant to one question. Suitable for narrow explanations, research questions and checking student notes. One call consumes one full-content preview for a caller without existing access.

Discovered
get_diagnostic_results

Reads an owner-scoped Fiveable diagnostic. In-progress sessions return progress and the current question without answer keys; completed sessions return the adaptive diagnostic summary and recommendations.

Discovered
get_exam_options

Find Fiveable exam formats, access requirements and website links without questions or answer keys. Choose a subject for version choices; add unitNumber to verify that unit's current bank and standard format. With progress:read consent, includes only genuine server-saved continuation links. Browser-only progress is not remotely recoverable.

Discovered
get_exam_results

Read an owned completed exam using attemptId, or safely check a submitted exam using submissionId. Supply exactly one. Pending or partial grading returns status only, never unfinished scores or feedback. Honors practice resets and cannot dispatch scoring, finalize submissions or retrieve active exam content.

Discovered
get_frq

Returns one full, original Fiveable FRQ prompt: stimulus, background and every lettered part with its point value. The returned prompt is eligible for Fiveable's saved scoring workflow after the student writes a response. It consumes one full-content preview unless existing access covers this FRQ. Moderate cost — 1-4k tokens.

Discovered
get_frq_attempt_history

Returns the signed-in student's previous attempts at a single FRQ, so you can compare a new response against what they wrote before and comment on improvement.

Discovered
get_key_term

Returns the full definition, context and related terms for one AP key term. Use when a student asks "what does X mean" for AP vocabulary. Cheap — usually under 1k tokens.

Discovered
get_my_access

Explains which features this account can use for one subject and its remaining MCP previews. Does not return billing information or change access.

Discovered
get_my_frq_progress

Returns the signed-in student's saved free-response attempts for one subject, including scores where they were graded and recent scoring-point weak areas. Use it to see what a student has already practiced and where they are losing points before recommending what to work on next.

Discovered
get_my_practice_history

Reads a bounded page of your saved self-study MCQ answers with current question explanations. Honors practice resets. Does not save, score, or consume a content preview.

Discovered
get_my_study_progress

Returns the signed-in student's durable Fiveable progress for one subject: multiple-choice accuracy, weak topics and units, FRQ performance, skill groups and recent activity, respecting the website progress reset. Also includes completed exams, plus assignment and study-plan summaries when their separate permissions are granted. Call this before choosing what to explain or practice so recommendations carry across conversations and AI clients.

Discovered
get_practice_questions

Returns original, course-specific multiple-choice practice questions. Free-text topics are matched against Fiveable's course map, so natural phrasing works. Omit topic to get balanced practice across the whole subject, with varied units, skills and stimulus formats. For history, science and language subjects this can return source-based sets — one stimulus with several questions off it — and stimulus images come back as viewable images. This is targeted or mixed practice, distinct from Fiveable's durable adaptive diagnostic. Every question carries a `Question id` that supports a saved answer submission for student progress. The recentCorrect and recentAnswered inputs allow the tool to drop to easier question types when a student is missing questions, helping find where understanding breaks down. A returned question set consumes one full-content preview unless existing access covers this practice feature. Moderate cost — roughly 300 tokens per question, more when images are attached.

Discovered
get_scoring_result

Read the status or saved result of your FRQ scoring request. This never starts or retries scoring.

Discovered
get_study_guide

Returns the full text of one Fiveable AP study guide as Markdown. Accepts the exact canonical guide reference or a close approximation of its title. Suitable when a student asks to learn or review a topic. It consumes one full-content preview for a caller unless existing access covers this subject and feature. Expensive — a full guide can be 3-8k tokens.

Discovered
get_study_plan

Reads one owned study plan, stable task ids, completion state and revision. A plan that is still being built reports pending with a retry delay, so poll this after create_study_plan rather than creating again. Use its revision for task changes. Reading older plans never changes them.

Discovered
get_subject_outline

Returns the full unit and topic outline for one AP subject, including every study guide slug in each unit. Provides the course map for study planning and individual guide retrieval. Moderate cost — roughly 2-5k tokens depending on subject size.

Discovered
get_unit_overview

Returns the overview page for one unit of an AP course: what it covers, how it is weighted on the exam, its topics and study plan. Suitable when a student is reviewing a whole unit. Moderate cost — roughly 1-3k tokens.

Discovered
list_cheatsheets

Find approved Fiveable course and unit PDFs, including course variants, academic year when known, source links and readable-artifact readiness. Does not include user galleries or generated personal visuals.

Discovered
list_frqs

Lists Fiveable's free-response (FRQ) practice prompts for an AP subject, optionally filtered by FRQ type, unit, and excluded IDs. Results use stable ID order; unchanged filters continue pagination. Returns prompt ids and summaries rather than full prompts. Cheap.

Discovered
list_key_terms

Lists the key vocabulary terms for an AP subject, paginated alphabetically. Suitable for building flashcards or checking what vocabulary a student should know; results include stable term slugs for full definitions. Cheap.

Discovered
list_my_assignments

Lists assignments delivered to the connected student's enrolled classes, signed-in submissions, and safely claimed guest work. Includes due dates, completion status and only released scores. No teacher roster or answer keys. Complete work on the website.

Discovered
list_my_exam_attempts

Lists only the connected student's completed full-length and unit-exam results. Honors the website progress reset, deduplicates retried submissions and paginates. Unit tests show points/percent, never an AP projection. Does not read browser-only or active exam state.

Discovered
list_my_study_plans

Lists the connected student's saved Fiveable study plans, including website plans. Included for signed-in students. Cheap; paginated.

Discovered
list_subjects

Lists every AP subject Fiveable covers, with its canonical subject slug and flags for which features exist for that subject (practice questions, key terms, score calculator). Suitable when a subject slug is not already known. Cheap — roughly 1-2k tokens.

Discovered
open_guided_practice

Opens Fiveable's interactive multiple-choice practice panel with existing question, answer and explanation components. Students select answers directly in the panel. Connected accounts can save answers to Fiveable progress; anonymous practice is an unsaved preview.

Discovered
report_content_issue

Submits a caller-requested content issue to Fiveable support, which may lead to support follow-up. Requires explicit confirmReport approval. The description contains the reported issue only, excluding conversation history, unrelated notes and personal information. Fiveable resolves content and reporter identity. Matching requestId retries are idempotent.

Discovered
score_external_frq_response

Scores a student's existing FRQ even when it did not come from Fiveable. If the student attached photos, the host AI must first transcribe the prompt and response, show the transcription for confirmation, then call this tool. Optional prompt images preserve graphs or artwork that text alone cannot represent. Fiveable scores it on the AP rubric for its exact question type, out of that type's AP point total. Requires sign-in; one scoring preview is included without a plan, with further scoring available to eligible accounts. The attempt is saved to the student's Fiveable progress. Returns a pending scoring job; poll get_scoring_result. Reuse requestId for retries.

Discovered
score_frq_response

Submits the student's own response to a Fiveable practice FRQ for saved, asynchronous scoring. Supports text, subparts, drawings/photos, LEQ selection, CSP program code and Business project references. Excludes teacher assignments and exams. Returns a scoring job id for status retrieval, and requestId provides idempotent retries. One included score is available to signed-in students.

Discovered
search_content

Fiveable's site search across study guides, units, subject hubs, key terms, unit tests, unit vocab lists and practice pages. Handles typos, course names and requests like "apush unit 3 test". Suitable when the relevant subject or guide is not known. Returns titles and canonical references rather than full content, so it is cheap.

Discovered
start_diagnostic

Starts Fiveable's canonical adaptive diagnostic for the connected student. Without a unitId it covers the whole course; an exact unitId scopes the survey across that unit's available topics. Returns one adaptive question at a time and creates durable diagnostic progress.

Discovered
submit_diagnostic_answer

Saves one answer in the connected student's active Fiveable diagnostic and returns feedback plus exactly one next adaptive question. Accepts the option letter, full text, or answer id from the current diagnostic question. Handles one question per call.

Discovered
submit_practice_answer

Records the signed-in student's answer to a multiple-choice practice question so it counts toward their Fiveable progress. Accepts a question id previously served by Fiveable MCP and returns whether the answer was correct plus the explanation.

Discovered
update_study_plan_tasks

Marks specified owned plan tasks complete or incomplete at the student's request. This is self-reported planning, never a quiz score or practice submission. Supply the latest revision and a unique requestId; retry identical input safely.
