AI agents call get_assignments_due to retrieve information from School MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only queries and returns school data about assignments without side effects. It enables information gathering for planning purposes but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only retrieve assignment information that the authenticated user already has access to via StudentVue.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves and queries data (upcoming assignments, due dates, point values) with no ability to modify, delete, or execute actions.
