What is canvas-daily-check?

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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	$0.00066	$0.00404
Opus 5	$0.00033	$0.00202
Sonnet 5	$0.00013	$0.00081
Haiku 4.5	$0.00007	$0.00040

Measured 10d ago against content hash 526edaa26730, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-09-11, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

canvas-daily-check 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 10d 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.

What it actually says

Canvas Daily Check

Give a student a fast morning or evening status pull across all their active courses: due work, missing work, and unread announcements.

Prerequisites

CanvasLMS - API connected and canvaslms-api --test succeeds.
A student-level Canvas token (educator-only tools are not needed here).

Steps

Call get_upcoming_assignments to list assignments due today and in the next 7 days across all active courses.
Call get_todo to catch anything on the Canvas to-do list that get_upcoming_assignments might not surface (peer reviews, ungraded quizzes owed).
Call get_submission_status for each course with upcoming or recent work, to flag anything already missing or late.
Call list_announcements for each active course (or the courses returned by step 1) and note any announcement newer than the student's last check-in.
Merge the results: group by course, sort by due date within each course.

Output format

A single Markdown reply, structured as:

## Today
- [Course] Assignment name: due 11:59pm: status

## This week
- [Course] Assignment name: due Wed: status

## Missing / late
- [Course] Assignment name: X days late

## Unread announcements
- [Course] Announcement title

Omit any section with nothing to report rather than showing it empty. Keep each line to one sentence. If nothing is due and nothing is missing, say so directly instead of printing empty headers.

Changes

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.
