Analyze discharge data with Windsurf

Pull wastewater discharge metrics straight into your editor using `get_effluent_chart`. You get the raw numbers on permitted limits versus actual releases. This tool feeds the data directly into your agent's context, letting it spot discrepancies in compliance records before you write a single line of code.

Audit compliance history in Windsurf

Run `get_detailed_facility_report` to see the full enforcement history for any site. You get every inspection result and formal action in a clean format. Your agent parses these reports to identify systemic issues, giving you a clear view of a facility's regulatory standing without leaving the IDE.
