Canvas Peer Review Manager

Check peer review completion for an assignment, identify who still owes a review, and send reminders only after the educator approves the message.

Prerequisites

• CanvasLMS - API connected and canvaslms-api --test succeeds.
• An educator-level Canvas token.
• The course and assignment with peer reviews assigned.

Steps

1. Call get_peer_review_completion_analytics for the assignment to get overall completion rate and a per-student breakdown.
2. Call get_peer_review_followup_list to get the specific list of students who have not completed their assigned review(s), including who they were assigned to review.
3. Optionally call analyze_peer_review_quality and identify_problematic_peer_reviews to also flag completed-but-low-effort reviews (a handful of words, no specific feedback) alongside the missing ones.
4. Draft the reminder message: name the specific assignment, the specific peer(s) still owed a review, and the deadline if known. Show the draft and the full recipient list to the educator before sending anything.
5. Once approved, send it:
   • Targeted at flagged reviewers specifically: message_peer_reviewers with confirm=true.
   • Batch reminder to everyone on the followup list: send_peer_review_followups with confirm=true.
6. Report who the message went to.

Output format

Status table first:

| Student | Reviews owed | Reviews completed | Quality flag |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | 1 | 0 |: |

Then, before sending anything:

## Draft reminder
To: [N students, listed]
<message text>

After sending: Sent to N students. Never call message_peer_reviewers or send_peer_review_followups with confirm=true before the educator has seen and approved both the recipient list and the message text.
