Query your bots directly in Windsurf

Cascade needs answers, not just code snippets. Use `ask_bot_question` to pull technical details directly from your DocsBot knowledge base. It saves you from switching windows just to check an internal API spec or deployment guide.

Manage DocsBot sources inside the IDE

Keep your documentation fresh by tracking what's currently indexed. Use `list_bot_knowledge_sources` to see exactly which URLs or PDFs your agent is reading. If the data is stale, you'll know immediately without guessing why the bot gave a wrong answer.

Audit interaction logs with Windsurf

Review how your team interacts with the bot to spot recurring friction points. `list_bot_interaction_logs` brings raw conversation data into your workspace. You can refine your documentation strategy based on the actual questions developers ask every day.
