    search_curriculumSearch BC curriculum (K-12) for standards, competencies, content items, and assessment resources using full-text search. Returns structured results with source metadata. Args: - query (string): Natural language search query (e.g., 'empathetic design thinking', 'coding and computational thinking') - subject (string, optional): Filter by subject slug (e.g., 'adst', 'science') - grade (integer, optional): Filter by grade level (0=K, 1-12) - content_type (string, optional): Filter by content type ('big_idea', 'competency', 'content_item', 'elaboration', 'assessment', 'all') - limit (integer, optional): Max results (default 10, max 50) Returns: Matching curriculum elements with source type, course, subject, and grade metadata.
    get_course_curriculumGet the complete BC curriculum for a specific course: Big Ideas, Curricular Competencies (grouped by domain), and Content/KDU items with elaborations. Returns the full three-column structure used by BC Ministry of Education. Args: - subject (string): Subject slug (e.g., 'adst', 'science') - grade (integer): Grade level (0=K, 1-12) - course (string, optional): Course slug (e.g., 'technology-explorations'). If omitted, returns all courses for that subject+grade. Returns: Complete three-column curriculum structure per course, including elaborations.
    get_grade_progressionShow how Big Ideas, Competencies, and Content progress across grade levels for a BC subject. Useful for understanding scaffolding, prerequisites, and learning trajectories. When a query is provided, filters to only matching items at each grade — showing a focused vertical thread rather than a full data dump. Args: - subject (string): Subject slug - grade_from (integer): Starting grade (0=K, 1-12) - grade_to (integer): Ending grade (0=K, 1-12) - focus (string, optional): Which element to trace ('big_ideas', 'competencies', 'content', 'all'). Default 'all'. - query (string, optional): Focus on a specific concept (e.g., 'evidence', 'multiplication'). Only matching items shown at each grade. Returns: Grade-by-grade breakdown of curriculum elements showing progression, optionally filtered to a concept thread.
    get_competency_connectionsFind curricular competencies that appear across multiple subjects or courses. Useful for interdisciplinary curriculum design and identifying transferable skills. Args: - competency_text (string): A competency description to find connections for - scope (string, optional): Where to search ('same_subject', 'cross_subject', 'all'). Default 'all'. Returns: Related competencies from other courses/subjects with similarity ranking.
    list_coursesList all available courses in the BC curriculum database (K-12). Use this to discover what courses are available before querying specific curriculum data. Args: - subject (string, optional): Filter by subject slug - grade (integer, optional): Filter by grade level (0=K, 1-12) Returns: List of courses with subject, grade, name, and URL.

Essential for interdisciplinary planning. Args: - subjects (string[]): Two or more subject slugs to compare (e.g., ['science', 'adst']) - grade (integer): Grade level (0=K, 1-12) - focus (string, optional): Which element to compare ('big_ideas', 'competencies', 'content', 'all'). Default 'all'. - query (string, optional): Narrow to a specific concept (e.g., 'evidence', 'design thinking') - limit (integer, optional): Max connections to return (default 20, max 50) Returns: Groups of curriculum items connected by shared language across subjects.

Args: - subject (string): Subject slug (e.g., 'science') - grade (integer): Grade level (0=K, 1-12) - course (string, optional): Course slug (e.g., 'chemistry'). If omitted, shows history for all courses at subject+grade. Returns: Timeline of crawl snapshots and detected changes per course.
