## How agents use D2L Brightspace

Inside a Definable workflow, D2L Brightspace is one of the tools the **Distributor specialist** can call. Example coordination patterns:

- **Researcher → D2L Brightspace** — the Researcher (GPT-5.5) pulls context from D2L Brightspace (records, threads, documents), synthesises findings, and briefs the rest of the team.
- **Writer → Distributor → D2L Brightspace** — the Writer (Claude Opus 4.7) drafts copy in brand voice, the Verifier passes it, then the Distributor writes the result into D2L Brightspace (create record, post message, draft email).
- **Designer / Engineer → Distributor → D2L Brightspace** — the Designer ships an asset or the Engineer ships a code change, the Distributor delivers it via D2L Brightspace (attach file, open PR comment, post status).

The Verifier checks every D2L Brightspace call. On rate limit, schema drift, or auth refresh it self-heals and retries — the workflow completes without manual intervention.
