Multi-step coin analysis with Windsurf Cascade

Give Windsurf a coin name, and Cascade will find its ID using `list_all_coins` and pull its live price data via `get_coin_ticker`. Instead of you running three separate queries, the agent chains these steps together in one go. It then checks the active trading pairs with `get_coin_markets` to see where the volume is. You get a complete market breakdown on your screen without writing a single line of API boilerplate.

Track coin events and historical trends

Cascade can monitor market shifts by pulling the latest OHLCV data with `get_coin_ohlcv_latest`. It correlates price movements with real-world project milestones using `get_coin_events` to give you context on sudden volume spikes. These checks run quietly in the background while you write code. If a major event is coming up, the agent flags it so you can adjust your trading logic or UI components accordingly.

Global market checks and exchange mapping

Keep your crypto dashboard updated by letting Windsurf query `get_global_market_overview` to grab total market cap and volume metrics. It maps out where coins are traded across different platforms using `get_coin_exchanges`. This lets Cascade build a complete picture of liquidity across the entire industry. The agent then updates your local configuration files with fresh exchange data from `list_crypto_exchanges` autonomously.
