Handle Q&A Management

When you use `list_questions`, Cascade gathers all questions submitted to the instructor. It then lets you fetch specific details for a question using `get_question`. You can also delete old, irrelevant questions with `delete_question`.

Track Messaging and Threads

Need an overview of student conversations? Use `list_message_threads` to see every ongoing chat. For deep context, Cascade grabs thread details with `get_message_thread`, or lists all individual messages within a specific conversation using `list_messages`.

Manage Content and Feedback

Get the full roster of courses taught by the instructor via `list_courses`. You can also check out student sentiment by calling `list_reviews`, or review direct student feedback through `list_question_replies` for specific questions.
