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 | $0.00055 | $0.00448 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00224 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00090 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00045 |
Grade A, and why
canvas-morning-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 morning check
Produce a short daily briefing from Canvas. Lead with anything urgent; keep the whole thing scannable in under thirty seconds.
Steps
- Verify the connection. Call
canvas_auth_status. Ifstatusis notok, report theaction_requiredmessage and stop — everything below will fail otherwise. - Gather in parallel (independent calls, issue them together):
canvas_list_plannerwithdays_ahead: 7— upcoming work and new activitycanvas_list_announcements— recent posts across active coursescanvas_list_inboxwithscope: "unread"— messages needing a replycanvas_get_feedback— newly graded work and grader comments
- Check for silent trouble. In the planner results, anything with
status: "missing"is a missed submission — surface it first, even if the due date has passed.
Output
Write it as prose with short bulleted lists, not a wall of JSON. Structure:
- ⚠️ Needs attention — missing submissions, anything due in the next 48 hours, unread messages from an instructor or TA. Omit this section entirely when it's empty rather than writing "nothing."
- 📅 This week — remaining deadlines in date order, each as
Course — item — day/time. Convert UTC timestamps to US Central; Canvas due times of 04:59 or 05:59 UTC mean 11:59 PM the previous day. - 📣 New since yesterday — announcements and newly posted grades, one line each with the key fact (not a summary of the whole post).
Close with one sentence naming the single most important thing to do today. If nothing is urgent, say so plainly — a quiet day is a useful answer.
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.
