Automate Photo Triage with Windsurf

Cascade can monitor incoming photo submissions and process them without you clicking around. It uses the MCP Server to pull new uploads via `list_submitted_photos`, check them against guidelines, and flag the bad ones. If an uploaded image fails to meet the rules, Cascade uses `deny_id_photo` to reject it and emails the user. For perfect uploads, the agent calls `approve_id_photo` to finish the job.

Bulk Onboard Cardholders via Cascade

Adding a batch of new users manually is a waste of time, so you can tell Windsurf to sync your roster. Cascade will chain the necessary actions to get everyone registered. The agent runs `register_new_cardholder` for every person on your list. It then grabs their details using `get_cardholder_details` to verify the records match.

Audit Office Locations and Rules

Don't dig through settings pages to find where badges are printed; Windsurf queries your MCP configuration directly to map out your distribution network. Cascade calls `list_card_offices` to find pickup spots and `list_photo_requirements` to check the rules. This keeps your team aligned on photo standards.
