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.

Security

Grade A, and why

canvas-accessibility-auditor 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 9d 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.

Canvas Accessibility Auditor

Full accessibility audit cycle for Learning Designers: scan course content, generate a prioritized report, guide remediation of fixable issues, re-scan to verify fixes, and produce an accessibility review summary.

Prerequisites

  • Canvas MCP server must be running and connected.
  • Authenticated user must have instructor, TA, or designer role in the target course.
  • For UFIXIT integration: the course must have a UFIXIT report page (generated by your institution's accessibility tool).

Steps

1. Identify Target Course

Ask the user which course to audit. Accept a course code, Canvas ID, or course name.

If not specified, prompt:

Which course would you like to audit for accessibility?

2. Scan Course Content

Run two scans in parallel if possible:

Scan A -- Direct content scan:

scan_course_content_accessibility(course_identifier, "pages,assignments")

This checks all page and assignment HTML for:

  • Images missing alt text (WCAG 1.1.1, Level A)
  • Empty headings (WCAG 2.4.6, Level AA)
  • Tables missing headers (WCAG 1.3.1, Level A)
  • Non-descriptive link text like "click here" (WCAG 2.4.4, Level A)

Scan B -- UFIXIT report (if available):

fetch_ufixit_report(course_identifier)

If the UFIXIT page exists, parse it:

parse_ufixit_violations(report_json)

3. Generate Prioritized Report

Combine results from both scans. Call format_accessibility_summary if using UFIXIT data.

Present issues sorted by priority:

## Accessibility Audit: [Course Name]

### Summary
- Content scanned: 20 pages, 15 assignments
- Total issues: 12
- Auto-fixable: 8 | Manual review needed: 4

### Level A Violations (must fix)
1. **Missing alt text** -- 5 images across 3 pages
   - Page "Week 1 Overview": 2 images
   - Page "Lab Instructions": 2 images
   - Assignment "Final Project": 1 image

2. **Tables missing headers** -- 2 tables
   - Page "Grade Scale": 1 table
   - Page "Schedule": 1 table

3. **Non-descriptive links** -- 3 instances of "click here"
   - Page "Resources": 2 links
   - Page "Week 3 Overview": 1 link

### Level AA Violations (should fix)
4. **Empty headings** -- 2 empty heading elements
   - Page "Week 5 Notes": 1 empty h3
   - Page "Midterm Review": 1 empty h2

### Manual Review Required
- Color contrast: Cannot be checked automatically (requires visual inspection)
- Video captions: Cannot be verified via API (check in Canvas media player)
- PDF accessibility: Cannot be parsed via API (use Adobe Acrobat checker)

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.
