Run funnel analysis in Windsurf

Cascade grabs conversion data by calling `get_funnel` directly from your chat window. You get the raw numbers for every step in your user journey without leaving the IDE. Stop digging through dashboards manually. Let the agent parse the output of `get_funnel` to tell you exactly where users drop off in your sign-up flow.

Track revenue inside Windsurf

Call `revenue_analysis` to pull daily income figures right into your workspace. Cascade uses this data to correlate recent code commits with actual monetary output. It connects the dots between your deployment logs and the `revenue_analysis` results. You'll see if that last push actually moved the needle on your bottom line.

Find users with Windsurf

Use `search_users` to pull up specific IDs or email addresses when you need to investigate a bug. Cascade locates the right record instantly so you don't have to hunt. Once you have the ID, pipe it into `get_user_activity` to see the full event stream for that person. You'll catch the exact error sequence in seconds.
