What it does
Canvas Morning Check is an agent skill from vishalsachdev/canvas-mcp. Educator morning course health check for Canvas LMS. Shows submission rates, struggling students, grade distribution, and upcoming deadlines. Trigger phrases include "morning check", "course status", "how are my students", or any start-of-day teaching review.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. The repository describes itself as: Canvas LMS MCP server — up to 102 tools and 8 agent skills for students & educators. Works with Claude, Cursor, Codex, and 40+ agents. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Phrases include morning check
- How are my students
- Any start-of-day teaching review
Example prompts
- “morning check”
- “course status”
- “how are my students”
- “/canvas-morning-check”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 63f4222. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Canvas Morning Check loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 509 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- description
- Educator morning course health check for Canvas LMS. Shows submission rates, struggling students, grade distribution, and upcoming deadlines. Trigger phrases include "morning check", "course status", "how are my students", or any start-of-day teaching review.
Canvas Morning Check
A comprehensive course health check for educators using Canvas LMS. Run it at the start of a teaching day or week to surface submission gaps, students who need support, and upcoming deadlines -- then take action directly from the results.
Prerequisites
- Canvas MCP server must be running and connected to the agent's MCP client.
- The authenticated user must have an educator or instructor role in the target Canvas course(s).
- FERPA-conscious handling: Set
ENABLE_DATA_ANONYMIZATION=truein the Canvas MCP server environment to anonymize supported student identity fields in output. When enabled, names render asStudent_xxxxxxxxhashes. This control does not by itself establish compliance.
Steps
1. Identify Target Course(s)
Ask the user which course(s) to check. Accept a course code, Canvas ID, or "all" to iterate through every active course.
If the user does not specify, prompt:
Which course would you like to check? (Or say "all" for all active courses.)
Use the list_courses MCP tool if you need to look up available courses.
2. Collect Recent Submission Data
For each target course:
- Call
list_assignmentsto find assignments with a due date in the past 7 days. - For each recent assignment, call
get_assignment_analyticsto collect:- Submission rate (submitted / enrolled)
- Average, high, and low scores
- Late submission count
3. Identify Struggling Students
Call list_submissions to retrieve student submission records, then flag students based on these thresholds:
| Urgency | Criteria |
|---|---|
| Critical | Missing 3+ assignments in the past 2 weeks, or average grade below 60% |
| Needs attention | Missing 2 assignments, or average grade 60--70%, or 3+ late submissions |
| On track | All submissions current, grade above 70% |
Use get_student_analytics for deeper per-student analysis when the user requests it.
4. Check Upcoming Deadlines
Call list_assignments filtered to the next 7 days. For each upcoming assignment, surface:
- Assignment name
- Due date and time
- Point value
- Current submission count (if submissions have started)
Show full SKILL.md (202 more words)Show less
5. Generate the Status Report
Present results in a structured format:
## Course Status: [Course Name]
### Submission Overview
| Assignment | Due Date | Submitted | Rate | Avg Score |
|------------|----------|-----------|------|-----------|
| Quiz 3 | Feb 24 | 28/32 | 88% | 85.2 |
| Essay 2 | Feb 26 | 25/32 | 78% | -- |
### Students Needing Support
**Critical (3+ missing):**
- Student_a8f7e23 (missing: Quiz 3, Essay 2, HW 5)
**Needs Attention (2 missing):**
- Student_c9b21f8 (missing: Essay 2, HW 5)
- Student_d3e45f1 (missing: Quiz 3, Essay 2)
### Upcoming This Week
- **Mar 3:** Final Project (100 pts) - 5 submitted so far
- **Mar 5:** Discussion 8 (20 pts)
### Suggested Actions
1. Send reminder to 3 students with critical status
2. Review Essay 2 submissions (78% rate, below average)
3. Post announcement about Final Project deadline6. Offer Follow-up Actions
After presenting the report, offer actionable next steps:
Would you like me to:
- Draft and send a message to struggling students (uses
send_conversation)- Send reminders about upcoming deadlines (uses
send_conversation; multiple recipients are a preview + confirmation call)- Get detailed analytics for a specific assignment (uses
get_assignment_analytics)- Check another course
If the user selects option 1, use the send_conversation MCP tool to message the identified students directly through Canvas.
MCP Tools Used
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
list_courses | Discover active courses |
list_assignments | Find recent and upcoming assignments |
get_assignment_analytics | Submission rates and score statistics |
list_submissions | Per-student submission records |
get_student_analytics | Detailed per-student performance data |
send_conversation | Message students through Canvas inbox |
Example
User: "Morning check for CS 101"
Agent: Runs the workflow above, outputs the status report.
User: "Send a reminder to students missing Quiz 3"
Agent: Calls send_conversation to message the identified students with a reminder.
Notes
- When anonymization is enabled, maintain a local mapping of anonymous IDs so follow-up actions (messaging, grading) still target the correct students.
- This skill works best as a weekly routine -- Monday mornings are ideal.
- Pairs well with the
canvas-week-planskill for student-facing planning.
