TeamTeacher Agent Tools
Specific functions the AI agent can use to help you, such as searching knowledge bases, generating images, saving documents, or searching the web.
Search saved documents by title or contents.
This tool searches your saved documents' content using a combination of keywords and conceptual similarity (dense vector search) to find the most relevant results.
Make a call to Perplexity Sonar to get a researched answer.
This tool uses Perplexity AI Sonar to perform comprehensive web searches with synthesized, researched answers. Unlike simple search engines, Perplexity provides cited sources and contextual understanding. Best for research questions, current events, fact-checking, and queries requiring authoritative sources. Responses include citations and contextual analysis.
Search the OpenLibrary database for books and authors.
This tool searches the Internet Archive OpenLibrary database for books, authors, and works. Returns comprehensive book metadata including title, author, publication year, ISBN, edition count, and availability information. Best for finding books by title, author, or subject. OpenLibrary contains millions of books from libraries around the world.
Search scholarly works, authors, and institutions from OpenAlex.
This tool searches OpenAlex, a fully open catalog of 240M+ scholarly works, authors, institutions, and topics. Returns comprehensive academic metadata including citations, open access status, author affiliations, publication venues, and subject classifications. Best for finding research papers, tracking citations, discovering authors and institutions, and analyzing academic trends. Supports advanced filtering by publication year, citation count, open access status, and more.
Save a document to the user library.
This tool saves a new document to your library, including a generated title and markdown content, for easy retrieval later.
Retrieve a specific document by ID.
This tool fetches a single document from your library using its ID, returning the title, description, content, and metadata for direct access to specific documents.
Edit an existing document with targeted operations.
This tool edits an existing document in your library. Supports full content replacement, targeted section replacement (by heading), appending content, and find/replace operations. Changes are saved immediately and the document is updated in real-time.
Retrieve or analyze a previous conversation.
This tool retrieves conversations by ID and provides flexible access to conversation data. You can get the full conversation history, generate a summary, or ask specific questions about the conversation content.
Call another TT to perform a task.
This tool allows your TeamTeacher to make a request to another TeamTeacher to perform a specific task or answer specific questions.
Delegate search tasks to a specialized research assistant.
This tool delegates research and search tasks to a specialized subagent with access to multiple search tools (OpenAlex, OpenLibrary, Web Search, Perplexity). Useful for complex research queries that benefit from using multiple search sources or when you want a specialized research assistant to handle the search comprehensively. The subagent can orchestrate multiple tool calls and synthesize findings across academic, web, and book searches.
Delegate curriculum research to a specialized curriculum expert.
This tool delegates curriculum and educational standards queries to a specialized subagent with access to multiple educational knowledge bases (IB DP, IB MYP, Common Core, UDL, state standards). Useful for cross-curriculum comparisons, comprehensive curriculum research, or when you need deep expertise across multiple educational frameworks. The subagent can search multiple knowledge bases systematically and provide well-cited, synthesized responses.
Search the web for current information, news, and financial data.
This tool searches the web using Tavily, an AI-optimized search engine. It supports multiple search topics (general, news, finance), adjustable search depth, time-based filtering, and can extract full page content. You can filter by specific domains and request AI-generated answers synthesized from results.

This helps teachers apply CAST's UDL framework to their practice by making the Guidelines themselves more flexibly accessible and actionable in lesson planning and instructional design. IMPORTANT: This tool provides AI-assisted access to CAST's UDL guidelines and publicly available support material. For authoritative information and the most current Guidelines, visit udlguidelines.cast.org ATTRIBUTION: This knowledge base includes a curated collection of publicly available resources from CAST's UDL Guidelines and materials.

Supports exact standard code lookups (e.g., "MS-LS1-1") and conceptual searches.
Generate images using AI based on text prompts.
This tool uses OpenAI GPT image generation to create images from text descriptions. Support long descriptions. Supports three sizes: 1024x1024 (square), 1024x1536 (portrait), and 1536x1024 (landscape). Generates one to four images per request.
