Tools & capabilities
Fiveable for AP Students tools 38
list_subjectsLists every AP subject Fiveable covers, with its canonical subject slug and flags for which features exist for that subject (practice questions, key terms, score calculator). Suitable when a subject slug is not already known. Cheap — roughly 1-2k tokens.get_subject_outlineReturns the full unit and topic outline for one AP subject, including every study guide slug in each unit. Provides the course map for study planning and individual guide retrieval. Moderate cost — roughly 2-5k tokens depending on subject size.get_study_guideReturns the full text of one Fiveable AP study guide as Markdown. Accepts the exact canonical guide reference or a close approximation of its title. Suitable when a student asks to learn or review a topic. It consumes one full-content preview for a caller unless existing access covers this subject and feature. Expensive — a full guide can be 3-8k tokens.get_unit_overviewReturns the overview page for one unit of an AP course: what it covers, how it is weighted on the exam, its topics and study plan. Suitable when a student is reviewing a whole unit. Moderate cost — roughly 1-3k tokens.list_key_termsLists the key vocabulary terms for an AP subject, paginated alphabetically. Suitable for building flashcards or checking what vocabulary a student should know; results include stable term slugs for full definitions. Cheap.get_key_termReturns the full definition, context and related terms for one AP key term. Use when a student asks "what does X mean" for AP vocabulary. Cheap — usually under 1k tokens.search_contentKeyword search across every Fiveable study guide, unit, subject hub and key term. Suitable when the relevant subject or guide is not known. Returns titles and canonical references rather than full content, so it is cheap.get_content_sectionsReturns a small set of Fiveable study-guide passages relevant to one question. Suitable for narrow explanations, research questions and checking student notes. One call consumes one full-content preview for a caller without existing access.list_frqsLists Fiveable's free-response (FRQ) practice prompts for an AP subject, optionally filtered by FRQ type, unit, and excluded IDs. Results use stable ID order; unchanged filters continue pagination. Returns prompt ids and summaries rather than full prompts. Cheap.get_frqReturns one full, original Fiveable FRQ prompt: stimulus, background and every lettered part with its point value. The returned prompt is eligible for Fiveable's saved scoring workflow after the student writes a response. It consumes one full-content preview unless existing access covers this FRQ. Moderate cost — 1-4k tokens.get_practice_questionsReturns original, course-specific multiple-choice practice questions. Free-text topics are matched against Fiveable's course map, so natural phrasing works. Omit topic to get balanced practice across the whole subject, with varied units, skills and stimulus formats. For history, science and language subjects this can return source-based sets — one stimulus with several questions off it — and stimulus images come back as viewable images. This is targeted or mixed practice, distinct from Fiveable's durable adaptive diagnostic. Every question carries a `Question id` that supports a saved answer submission for student progress. The recentCorrect and recentAnswered inputs allow the tool to drop to easier question types when a student is missing questions, helping find where understanding breaks down. A returned question set consumes one full-content preview unless existing access covers this practice feature. Moderate cost — roughly 300 tokens per question, more when images are attached.calculate_ap_scorePredicts a 1-5 AP score from raw section scores using Fiveable's per-subject score calculator, and explains the weighting. Call with no sectionScores to see which sections the subject has and their point maximums, then call again with the student's scores. Cheap.- +26 more on the listing page

search_resourcesSearch for educational resources (learning materials, courses, videos, etc.) using full-text search and metadata filters. Returns resources matching the query from the AMB relay. Only openly licensed resources are returned (CC0, Public Domain, CC BY, CC BY-SA); NC/ND, all-rights-reserved and unlicensed resources are left out. NOTE: the metadata filters (publisherName, creatorName, subjectLabel, resourceTypeLabel, educationalLevelLabel) are EXACT full-string matches against the stored metadata (case-insensitive) — not fuzzy or substring searches. A guessed spelling silently returns 0 results; use resolve_publisher to find the canonical actor spelling first. On a zero-match actor filter the response includes actorCandidates with similar spellings to retry with.search_contentTopic search across ALL content types on the relay in one ranked call: educational resources (kind 30142), long-form articles/blogs (30023), wikis (30818), projects (30143), measures (30144), and NKBIP-01 publications (30040 indices + 30041 sections — scientific articles, books). Results are interleaved and ranked by semantic passage match, and each carries the matched passage ("snippet") when available — use it to answer the user, not just list links. Educational resources are returned only when openly licensed (CC0, Public Domain, CC BY, CC BY-SA); the other content types carry no license and are all included. This is the tool for DISCOVERY intent — the user wants materials to browse ("finde/suche/empfiehl Materialien zu X"): present the items. For QUESTION intent — the user wants an answer built from the content ("wie/warum/was hilft bei X?") — prefer search_passages, which returns quotable fulltext passages with citations; this tool then supplements the answer with browsable links. Each result carries eventAuthor (the Nostr signer who uploaded the event — often an aggregator) plus, for resources, creator/publisher (who actually made and published the resource); these can differ, so do not treat eventAuthor as the publisher. For full metadata (license, dates, complete entity lists) pass a result's naddr to get_resource. Publication facets ride inside the query string as NIP-50 field filters: append type:academic, doi:10.1234/abcd.5678, keywords:<term>, or partOf:30143:<pubkey>:<d> ("publications of a project") to the query — the relay resolves them server-side. When presenting results to the user, render each as a markdown link so they can open it directly — prefer sourcePage (the original external source page, present on most resources and on projects/measures/publications), then url, then naddr. For upcoming events on the same topic, follow up with search_calendar_events.get_resourceRetrieve a single piece of content by naddr (preferred — pass a search_content result's naddr), d-tag identifier, or event ID. naddrs of ANY content type from search_content work (resources, articles, wikis, projects, measures, publications); non-resource kinds return the same shape as their search results. Bare identifier/eventId lookups (no naddr) always resolve the full educational-resource metadata (kind 30142), including creator/publisher and educational properties. Lookups are not license-filtered: a learning resource carries openLicense (true for CC0, Public Domain, CC BY, CC BY-SA — the open licenses that search results are currently limited to). When presenting the resource, render a markdown link the user can open: prefer its sourcePage (the original source page); fall back to url (the edufeed viewer) only when sourcePage is absent.browse_subjectsList available subjects/topics in the educational resource collection. Returns subjects with their labels and resource counts.browse_resource_typesList available learning resource types (Video, Course, Worksheet, etc.) with resource counts.browse_educational_levelsList available educational levels (Primary, Secondary, Higher Education, etc.) with resource counts.relay_statsGet information about all selectable AMB relays (default and extra), including supported NIPs, relay name, and description.list_relaysList the configured AMB relays. defaultRelays are searched on every query; extraRelays hold different corpora (e.g. the OERSI aggregation) and are only searched when a search/get tool call passes them in its relays parameter.relay_list_getGet a user's NIP-65 relay list (kind 10002). Returns read and write relays for the specified pubkey. If no pubkey provided, uses the connected signer's pubkey.skos_get_vocabularyFetch and parse a SKOS vocabulary from its URI. Returns the concept scheme with all concepts organized hierarchically.skos_get_conceptGet details of a single SKOS concept by its URI, including broader, narrower, and related concepts.skos_searchSearch for concepts in a SKOS vocabulary. By default searches prefLabel, altLabel, hiddenLabel, and definition.- +6 more on the listing page
