What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

• get_mark_scheme

  The official mark-scheme rows for one part of an exam.now past paper: each row's code (M1, A1, B1…), marks, answer, guidance and alternatives, the part's maximum marks, the paper's general marking principles, the mark-scheme PDF page and a link to it on exam.now.

• get_paper

  An exam.now past paper as structured JSON (metadata, questions, parts, prompts, marks, answer kinds, figure URLs), a few questions at a time. Each part's answer.onSite is true when it needs a graph or drawing and can only be answered on exam.now; the other parts can be typed in c

• find_questions_by_topic

  Past-paper questions on exam.now tagged with a syllabus topic, newest first. Pass the topic code (e.g. E2.5) or words (e.g. "simultaneous equations"). Returns question references with the start of each prompt, marks, whether it has a figure, and a link to the question.

• practise_question

  Show one past-paper question as a practice card the student can answer, with its figures and answer surface. The model gets the full question so it can give hints without giving the answer away. Use mark_answer to mark the student's answer.

• topic_progress

  The linked student's own progress in one subject on exam.now: each syllabus topic's band (secure, getting there, not yet), the next three topics to work on (weak topics first, then topics with too few marks to band and untried topics that are ready to start, each with a reason) a

• exam_timetable

  Cambridge exam dates for one or more syllabuses in the June or November 2026 series: component, date, morning or afternoon session and duration, with a link to the exam.now timetable. Zone defaults to the UK timetable.

• class_summary

  For a teacher's own exam.now class: topic bands across the class with no pupil names, and how many pupils have started. Small groups are suppressed to protect pupils' privacy.
