Homework from the school system put on the calendar

What was done

On 22 September 2026 fnordpiglet writes on Hacker News that Muse was allowed to use the credential vault to log in to the school's information system, read the pages and collect homework and deadlines. They are added to the child's calendar when they are due, with a reminder the day before and a link. He modelled the workflow and set it to run daily. He writes that it was not bad, that the vault is useful, and that he does not give Meta information he would not otherwise share. He weighs that against the work the school puts on parents.

How it went

The flow is set up. He writes "we shall see", meaning he has not seen the daily run over time yet.

Worth knowing

A school login and a child's calendar are shared with Meta to the extent the agent sees them. He says himself that he will not hand over more than he would otherwise share. The result over time is not reported.

How to do it

1. Ask the agent to describe the flow before it gets a password: where it logs in, and what goes on the calendar.
2. Use a credential vault, not a password pasted into the chat.
3. Read the first calendar entries yourself before you let the job run every day.
