Obtiene los elementos dentro de un módulo. Requiere course_id y module_id.
AI agents call module_items to retrieve information from Canvas 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 module items from a Canvas LMS course, requiring only course_id and module_id parameters. It performs a query operation on the Canvas REST API to list or fetch existing module content. There is no indication of modification, deletion, execution, or financial operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'module_items' with description 'Obtiene los elementos dentro de un módulo' (Gets the elements within a module).
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Obtiene los elementos dentro de un módulo. Requiere course_id y module_id. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Canvas MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Canvas MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for module_items: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Canvas MCP Server. Nothing to install.
module_items is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the module_items rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for module_items. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
module_items is provided by the Canvas MCP Server MCP server (the-greenpanter/canvas-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
