  title: Canvas LMS Create Assignment and Confirm
  summary: Verify a course exists, create an assignment in it, then fetch the assignment back.
  description: >-
    A foundational authoring flow for Canvas. The workflow first reads the target
    course to confirm it exists and is writable, then creates a new assignment
    inside that course, and finally re-fetches the created assignment by id to
    confirm it was persisted with the expected name and point value. Every step
    spells out its request inline so the flow can be read and executed without
    opening the underlying OpenAPI description.
