Retrieve planned assignments and to-dos from the Smartschool planner.
AI agents call get_planned_elements to retrieve information from Smartschool MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves information from a student planner—a passive query operation with no ability to create, modify, delete, or execute actions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal; an AI could potentially retrieve sensitive academic data, but cannot alter grades, delete assignments, or trigger external operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_planned_elements' and description 'Retrieve planned assignments and to-dos' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects. The verb 'Retrieve' and the read-only nature of querying a planner align with the Read category.
