List the recent discussions of a forum.
AI agents call get_forum_discussions to retrieve information from Moodle Student MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves forum discussion data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read operation consistent with the server's read-only design. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only view forum discussions already accessible to the student. No side effects or state changes are possible.
