List assignments with their due dates.
AI agents call list_assignments 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 retrieves assignment information and metadata (due dates) without creating, modifying, or deleting data. It has no side effects and poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent, as it only exposes already-accessible student course information.
