It manages courses, assignments (create/update/delete/grade), user enrollments, wiki pages, modules, and announcements — covering the full lifecycle of course content and student interaction. ## When to use - Create, update, or delete assignments and grade submissions - Manage course enrollments — enroll or remove students - Create wiki pages, modules, and announcements in courses - List courses, users, assignments, and submissions with filters ## Prerequisites - `robomotion` CLI installed - Package installed: `robomotion install canvas` - Canvas LMS API access token configured via Robomotion vault ## IMPORTANT: Session Mode Required for Multi-Step Operations Each CLI command runs as a **separate process** — connection IDs from `connect` do NOT persist across calls. You MUST use `--session` on `connect` and pass `--session-id` to all subsequent commands. ## Workflow 1. Install (once): `robomotion install canvas` 2. Connect with session: ``` robomotion canvas canvas_connect --session --output json # → {"outClientId":"","session_id":""} ``` 3. Use the returned `client-id` and `session-id` in all subsequent commands: ``` robomotion canvas canvas_list_courses --client-id "" --session-id "" --output json ``` 4. Disconnect when done: ``` robomotion canvas canvas_disconnect --client-id "" --session-id "" --output json ``` **Always** append `--output json` to get structured JSON results. ## Commands Reference - `robomotion canvas canvas_connect --session --output json` Connects to Canvas LMS and returns a client ID for subsequent operations - `robomotion canvas canvas_disconnect --client-id --session-id "" --output json` Closes the Canvas LMS connection and releases resources - `robomotion canvas canvas_list_courses --client-id [--enrollment-type] [--state] [--50] --session-id "" --output json` Lists courses for the authenticated user - `robomotion canvas canvas_get_course --client-id --course-id --session-id "" --output json` Gets details of a specific Canvas course - `robomotion canvas canvas_list_assignments --client-id --course-id [--order-by] [--50] --session-id "" --output json` Lists assignments in a Canvas course - `robomotion canvas canvas_get_assignment --client-id --course-id --assignment-id --session-id "" --output json` Gets details of a specific assignment in a Canvas course - `robomotion canvas canvas_create_assignment --client-id --course-id --name --description [--100] [--due-date] --session-id "" --output json` Creates a new assignment in a Canvas course - `robomotion canvas canvas_update_assignment --client-id --course-id --assignment-id --name --description [--points-possible] [--due-date] --session-id "" --output json` Updates an existing assignment in a Canvas course - `robomotion canvas canvas_delete_assignment --client-id --course-id --assignment-id --session-id "" --output json` Deletes an assignment from a Canvas course - `robomotion canvas canvas_list_users --client-id --course-id [--enrollment-type] [--search-term] [--50] --session-id "" --output json` Lists users enrolled in a Canvas course - `robomotion canvas canvas_get_user --client-id --user-id --session-id "" --output json` Gets details of a specific Canvas user - `robomotion canvas canvas_list_enrollments --client-id --course-id [--role] [--state] [--50] --session-id "" --output json` Lists enrollments in a Canvas course - `robomotion canvas canvas_create_enrollment --client-id --course-id --user-id [--role] --session-id "" --output json` Enrolls a user in a Canvas course - `robomotion canvas canvas_delete_enrollment --client-id --course-id --enrollment-id [--action] --session-id "" --output json` Removes a user enrollment from a Canvas course - `robomotion canvas canvas_list_submissions --client-id --course-id --assignment-id [--50] --session-id "" --output json` Lists submissions for an assignment in a Canvas course - `robomotion canvas canvas_grade_submission --client-id --course-id --assignment-id --user-id --grade [--comment] --session-id "" --output json` Grades a student submission for an assignment - `robomotion canvas canvas_list_pages --client-id --course-id [--sort-by] [--50] --session-id "" --output json` Lists wiki pages in a Canvas course - `robomotion canvas canvas_create_page --client-id --course-id --title --body --session-id "" --output json` Creates a new wiki page in a Canvas course - `robomotion canvas canvas_update_page --client-id --course-id --page-url --title --body --session-id "" --output json` Updates an existing wiki page in a Canvas course - `robomotion canvas canvas_list_modules --client-id --course-id [--search-term] [--include] [--50] --session-id "" --output json` Lists modules in a Canvas course - `robomotion canvas canvas_create_module --client-id --course-id --name --session-id "" --output json` Creates a new module in a Canvas course - `robomotion canvas canvas_create_announcement --client-id --course-id --title --message --session-id "" --output json` Creates an announcement in a Canvas course ## Environment - ROBOMOTION_API_TOKEN (if vault credentials are needed)
