Tool reference
88 tools the AI can call. Read tools are always available; write tools require MOODLE_ALLOW_WRITE=true.
Courses & structure
create_course · create_category · create_section · update_course · delete_section · delete_courses · delete_category · import_course · get_course_content · list_courses · search_courses · get_my_courses
Course builder & backup
build_course builds a whole course — sections, activities, quizzes and their questions — from one JSON outline. backup_course saves a real Moodle .mbz backup to your local disk; restore_course restores it into a brand-new course.
Content & activities
create_page · create_book · create_label · create_url · create_forum · create_choice · create_assignment · update_page · update_activity · move_activity · delete_activity · upload_file · download_file
Quizzes & questions

Six question types: multiple choice, true/false, short answer, essay (manually graded), numerical with tolerances, and matching pairs. get_quiz_results shows a user's attempts and best grade; get_quiz_attempt_review walks a finished attempt question by question; get_quiz_report gives the whole-class picture — grade distribution, average, pass rate, who hasn't attempted, and a per-question facility index.

Search & assist
server_info · search_course_materials · find_relevant_materials · ask_moodle · decompose_task · create_implementation_plan · verify_connection
server_info is a health check — server version, write-mode, and whether the local_mcpbridge plugin is installed on the connected site. A good first call.
