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-grade-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 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.

What it actually says

Canvas grade check

Report where the user actually stands, and answer the question behind the question — usually "am I okay?" or "what do I need to get?"

Steps

  1. canvas_get_grades with no arguments for the cross-course overview.
  2. canvas_grade_breakdown per course for the detail: group weights, what's graded, what's outstanding. Pass target_grade when the user names a goal (90 for an A, 80 for a B, or whatever they say).
  3. canvas_get_feedback when a score looks low — the grader's comments usually explain it, and that's more useful than the number.

Reading the results correctly

  • Distinguish "0" from "not yet graded." A gradebook placeholder or an ungraded item is not a failing grade. Say which one it is; never report an unearned zero as the user's standing.
  • Respect the caveats. canvas_grade_breakdown returns a caveats array when drop rules, unposted assignment groups, or a mismatch with Canvas's own number make a projection unreliable. Repeat those caveats in your answer — a confident wrong projection about someone's GPA is worse than an honest uncertain one.
  • Trust Canvas for the official number. When current_grade_computed and canvas_reported_current_score disagree, report Canvas's figure as authoritative and note the difference.
  • Early semester: if little is graded, say the number isn't meaningful yet and pivot to what's coming.

Output

Per course: current standing (or "nothing graded yet"), then what remains and what it's worth. For a what-if question, give the direct answer first — "you need a 84% average on the remaining work" — then the arithmetic behind it briefly.

If a target is out of reach, say so plainly and give the best still-achievable outcome. Don't soften it into something misleading.

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.
