Perplexity

Chain complex RAG flows in Windsurf

Cascade takes control of your RAG workflow by linking `ingest_data` to `rag_query` without needing your input at every turn. It reads your project files and determines exactly when to pull from your Cognita collections. Stop babysitting your agent during data indexing. Windsurf interprets your intent and maps out the necessary tool calls to populate your buckets.

Inspect RAG state inside Windsurf

Use `list_collections` and `list_models` to see exactly what your agent can access. Cascade parses these arrays to ensure your RAG setup aligns with your current task. Visibility into your data structure happens in seconds. You get an immediate look at your active transformation vectors without leaving your editor.

Automated RAG lookups for Windsurf

Trigger `search_chunks` directly from your chat sidebar to pull specific rules into your context window. This MCP Server gives your IDE the raw data it needs to write better code. Your agent builds responses based on real, indexed facts. It avoids guesswork by checking the specific data sources you defined in Cognita.
