List all my active courses in Blackboard.

I've retrieved your courses. You are currently enrolled in: 'Introduction to Computer Science' (ID: CS101) and 'Advanced Mathematics' (ID: MATH302). Would you like to see the details for one of them?

Create a course announcement for CS101 titled 'Final Exam Update' saying 'The exam is moved to Friday'.

Announcement created successfully in course CS101. Students will now see the update regarding the final exam schedule.

Show me the attendance records for meeting ID 98765 in course MATH302.

Fetching attendance for meeting 98765... I found 25 records. 22 students are marked as 'Present', 2 as 'Absent', and 1 as 'Late'. Would you like the specific names of the absent students?

You can use the `get_meeting_attendance` tool by providing the Course ID and Meeting ID. The agent will retrieve the full list of users and their current attendance status (e.g., Present, Absent).
