Discovered
create_assignment_draft

Builds an assignment draft from multiple-choice questions picked by question-bank mcq: id and/or drawn from units and topics (skipping already assigned questions), Fiveable FRQ or SAQ ids, readings with optional checks, or a diagnostic. Settings start from the first class's defaults. AP Calculus drafts require courseVariant or target classes sharing one course. Returns the draft id and review link. Drafts never use an included assignment slot.

Discovered

Discovered
create_grading_session

A session uses an included assignment when grading starts unless the account has unlimited assignments. Returns the new session id.

Discovered
get_assignment_status

Where each student is on one assignment: in progress, submitted, scored, or waiting for review, with their score when results are available. Students appear by handle and short name. Use it for 'who hasn't finished?' or 'how did period 5 do?'. Cheap.

Discovered

Discovered
get_class

One class in the teacher's workspace: subject, roster (students by handle and short name), the class's assignment defaults, and the student links of assignments currently open to it. Students join a class by opening one of those links; there are no class codes. Cheap.

Discovered
get_class_insights

How a class (or all the teacher's classes) is doing on Fiveable assignments: accuracy and FRQ points with change over time, each assignment's turn-in rate and average, and each student's average with flags (missing work, dropping, improving), weakest first. Scope by class, subject, assignment or time window. Moderate cost.

Discovered
get_content_sections

Moderate cost — 1-4k tokens.

Discovered
get_grading_progress

Returns grading counts (scored, remaining, failed and approved) and background-job status (running, done or stopped). Cheap.

Discovered
get_grading_results

Class results for a grading session: average, score distribution, how the class did on each rubric part, common gaps, and a table of essays (handle, short name, score, status, what to check). Filter to the ones that need review, drafts, approved or failed. Scores marked AI draft aren't approved yet.

Discovered
get_grading_rubric

Returns the session's Fiveable scoring guidelines point by point on the AP rubric for its question type. If absent, starts rubric generation and returns pending status; generation takes about a minute. Rubrics use the website's grading pipeline. Cheap once written.

Ranks topics, units, CED skills and FRQ rubric rows where a class lost the most points on Fiveable assignments. Optional filters cover class, subject, assignment and time window. Moderate cost.

Discovered
get_skill_insights

Class progress on AP course skills (for example causation or contextualization): each skill's verdict (solid, improving, stuck, developing, building), average, trend, the students who need support most, and the units to revisit. Says so when evidence is limited instead of guessing. Works best scoped to one subject. Moderate cost.

Discovered
get_student_insights

Returns one student's Fiveable work: average, missing work, assignment scores, weakest units and topics, and skill progress. Accepts an anonymous student handle (S-…). Suitable for conference preparation, parent notes and individual reteaching. Moderate cost.

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

Discovered
get_submission

One student's submission on a Fiveable assignment: each section's AI and teacher scores, the FRQ rubric breakdown, overrides and feedback, and whether the student can see results yet. includeText requires that the teacher wants to read the student's responses; it also returns student drawings and handwritten pages as images.
