Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00083 | $0.01330 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00042 | $0.00665 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00266 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00133 |
Grade A, and why
canvas-course-qc scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 130 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Canvas Course QC
Systematically walk a Canvas course from top to bottom — syllabus, modules, pages, assignments, and rubrics — and produce a prioritised list of issues to fix before publication.
Prerequisites
- Canvas MCP server must be running and connected.
- You must have instructor, designer, or admin role in the target course.
- The course may be unpublished — this skill reads draft content.
Steps
1. Load Course Metadata
Call get_course with the course ID to retrieve:
- Course name and code
- Publication status (
workflow_state:unpublished,available,completed) - Start and end dates
- Default view (modules, syllabus, etc.)
Report the publication status upfront — if the course is already live, note that this is a post-launch audit.
2. Check the Syllabus
Call get_syllabus for the course. Check:
- Is the syllabus body non-empty?
- Does it contain placeholder text (e.g. "TBD", "Coming soon", "Lorem ipsum")?
- Are expected sections present (course description, grading policy, contact info)?
Flag any missing or placeholder syllabus content.
3. Walk the Module Structure
Call list_modules for the course to get all modules. For each module:
- Call
get_module(with the module ID) to get its publication state, unlock date, and prerequisite chain. - Call
list_module_items(with the course ID and module ID) to get the full item list.
For each module record:
- Flag modules that are empty (zero items)
- Flag modules that are unpublished if the course is live
- Flag modules with a broken prerequisite (prerequisite module ID not in the module list)
- Note the item count and item types (page, assignment, quiz, file, external URL)
4. Check Pages
From the module items collected in Step 3, identify items of type Page. For each page item:
Call get_page (with the course ID and page URL or slug from the module item) to retrieve its content and publication state.
Check for:
- Unpublished pages in a published module (students cannot see them)
- Empty body — page with no content
- Placeholder text — same heuristic as the syllabus check
- Broken relative links — look for
href="/courses/patterns that reference a different course ID
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

canvas-course-qc is a skill published in the GitHub repository bruchris/canvas-lms-mcp (5 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 83 tokens to every session and 1,330 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
