Canvas integration for AI agents
Insiro connects AI agents to Canvas so they can act in it under your rules. Canvas is a learning management system for online courses, assignments, grading, and collaboration. It's trusted by educators and students to streamline virtual classrooms and enhance digital learning. Every Canvas action runs through Insiro's governed gateway, using each person's own connection (OAuth 2.0 or API key).
What can AI agents do with Canvas?
With Insiro, agents can track learner progress, enrol people in courses, summarise course feedback and assign training from HR events, all inside the permissions you set for Canvas.
- Track learner progress.
- Enrol people in courses.

Frequently asked questions about Canvas
Can Insiro AI agents use Canvas?
Yes. Insiro connects AI agents to Canvas through its governed MCP gateway. Agents can track learner progress and enrol people in courses using each person's own Canvas access, with read-only as the default and approvals for actions that change data.
How does Insiro connect to Canvas?
Canvas connects with OAuth 2.0 or API key. Each user connects their own account once; Insiro stores the credential encrypted and brokers it to the tool only at the moment of a call, so models never see it. Admins can also register a workspace-level connection.
Can I make Canvas read-only for agents?
Yes. In Insiro Governance, set Canvas to Off, Read only, or Read and write in a click. Write actions can require confirmation or owner approval by risk tier, and every call is logged with the user, tool, tokens and cost.
