Documentation

README

Excerpt

Canvas Morning Check

A comprehensive course health check for educators using Canvas LMS. Run it at the start of a teaching day or week to surface submission gaps, students who need support, and upcoming deadlines -- then take action directly from the results.

Prerequisites

Canvas MCP server must be running and connected to the agent's MCP client.
The authenticated user must have an educator or instructor role in the target Canvas course(s).
FERPA-conscious handling: Set ENABLE_DATA_ANONYMIZATION=true in the Canvas MCP server environment to anonymize supported student identity fields in output. When enabled, names render as Student_xxxxxxxx hashes. This control does not by itself establish compliance.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
