Capabilities

Tools 12

coursebox_create_course

WRITE. Create an empty draft course and return it with its id. The key's user becomes owner and admin. Counts toward the plan's course limit (over the limit the call fails with 403). API: POST /api/Courses/createCourse.

Discovered
coursebox_create_lesson

WRITE. Add an empty lesson to the end of a section and return its id. Fill it afterwards with coursebox_edit_lesson_with_ai. API: POST /api/Blocks/createActivity.

Discovered
coursebox_create_section

WRITE. Add a section (module) to a course and return its id. Create sections in order: position 0, 1, 2. API: POST /api/Courses/{courseId}/blocks.

Discovered
coursebox_delete_lesson

DESTRUCTIVE. Delete a lesson with its content, quiz and assignment. This cannot be undone. API: POST /api/Activities/deleteActivity.

Discovered
coursebox_delete_section

DESTRUCTIVE. Delete a section and all of its lessons. This cannot be undone. API: DELETE /api/Blocks/{sectionId}.

Discovered
coursebox_edit_lesson_with_ai

WRITE (AI, not idempotent). Fill or change ONE lesson from a plain-language instruction. Coursebox's own AI writes text, layouts, images, video, translations, quizzes and assignments. Send one lesson per call and put any exact text or exact quiz questions in the message. Returns compact save/error status and assistantMessage, without raw page content or operations. Check autosaved and save_status before claiming the edit saved; the AI may ask a question. A failed or unknown save is an error: check the lesson before retrying. A call can take up to 5 minutes. Limit: 30 requests per minute per user. API: POST /api/Activities/editPageContentAgentic.

Discovered
coursebox_get_course_structure

Find section and lesson ids in a compact course outline, without lesson content. Each entry contains its section and one lesson, or an empty section. Filter by section_id or an exact, case-insensitive lesson_title; duplicate titles return all matches with their sections, so select the intended id before editing. Paging is over matching entries: follow next_offset with the same filters while has_more is true. API: GET /api/Blocks; outline filtering and paging are local.

Discovered
coursebox_move_lesson

WRITE. Move a lesson to a position inside its section (0 = first). API: POST /api/Blocks/{sectionId}/activity-position.

Discovered
coursebox_publish_course

WRITE. Publish a draft course. join_status "public" lets anyone on the portal join. "private" lets learners join only when enrolled or invited. Edits after publishing go live at once. Coursebox emails the course owner a confirmation. API: POST /api/Courses/publish.

Discovered
coursebox_rename_section

WRITE. Rename a section (module). API: PATCH /api/Blocks/{sectionId}.

Discovered
coursebox_unpublish_course

WRITE. Return a published course to draft, so learners cannot see it. API: POST /api/Courses/unpublish.

Discovered
coursebox_update_course

WRITE. Change course details. Only the fields you send change. Editing a published course goes live at once. API: POST /api/Courses/updateAttributes.
