What is Moodle Web Services (REST) Skill?
The Moodle Web Services skill empowers your AI agent to act as a virtual registrar and LMS administrator. By leveraging the Moodle REST API, this skill enables programmatic interaction with Moodle 4.x environments, allowing for the automated creation of educational content and management of user lifecycles. It is a vital addition to the library of Openclaw Skills for developers looking to bridge the gap between AI reasoning and Learning Management Systems.
Built with security and efficiency in mind, it provides a structured way to handle complex LMS tasks through simple natural language commands. Whether you are scaling an online academy or managing a corporate training portal, this skill streamlines the administrative overhead significantly.
Moodle Web Services (REST) Skill Use Cases
- Automated creation of new academic courses based on syllabus drafts.
- Bulk enrollment or unenrollment of students using email identifiers.
- Direct messaging to specific course cohorts for announcements or reminders.
- Automated grading and gradebook updates for assignments and quizzes.
- Real-time retrieval of student lists and course participation data.
How Moodle Web Services (REST) Skill Works
- The AI agent receives a natural language command related to Moodle administration.
- The skill retrieves the base URL and secure REST token from the local secrets directory.
- A specific Moodle Web Service function (e.g., core_course_create_courses) is mapped to the user's intent.
- The skill executes a REST API call to the Moodle instance with the required parameters.
- The agent confirms the success of the operation or displays the requested data to the user.
Moodle Web Services (REST) Skill Setup
First, ensure you have a Moodle 4.x instance with Web Services enabled and a valid token generated. Then, configure your local environment:
# Create the secrets directory if it doesn't exist
mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/workspace/secrets/
# Create the configuration file
cat <<EOF > ~/.openclaw/workspace/secrets/moodle-ws.json
{
"moodle_url": "https://your-moodle-link.com",
"wstoken": "your_secret_token_here"
}
EOF
Ensure your Moodle token has permissions for the core_user, core_course, and enrol manual functions.
Moodle Web Services (REST) Skill Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill utilizes a localized JSON schema to manage credentials and interacts with Moodle's standardized REST responses.
