Download one file attached to your submission and save it to local disk. Returns the saved path. Get the URL from list_submission_attachments.

Hand in a student-annotation assignment (where you mark up a document inside Canvas). Do the annotating in Canvas first; this submits what is there. [IRREVERSIBLE: call without confirm=true first to preview, then re-call with confirm=true. Apps that can ask the user directly will show a confirmation instead.]

Enter a hypothetical score on one assignment and get your recalculated course grade, with Canvas applying group weights and drop rules. Writes a what-if score only you can see; it is not a real grade. Undo with reset_what_if_grades. Canvas treats this as expensive; for pure math with no writes, use compute_needed_score.
