Automate Inspection Pipelines in Windsurf

The `list_inspections` tool pulls your latest quality control results straight into your editor, letting Windsurf flag issues before you ship. Cascade reads these results, identifies failed batches, and automatically pulls detailed reports using `get_inspection` without requiring manual prompts for each step. You set the goal of auditing a specific production batch, and the agent handles the rest. It chains the data collection, parses the failure logs, and formats a clean breakdown of the factory floor metrics.

Multi-Step Supplier and Audit Profiling

The `list_suppliers` tool queries your manufacturing partners, allowing Cascade to cross-reference them against active factory audits. When a supplier shows a high defect rate, the agent uses `get_supplier` and `list_audits` to trace the root cause back to specific factory lines. This autonomous MCP Server integration means you don't waste time jumping between supply chain portals. The agent builds a complete profile of factory performance by linking raw audit logs directly to your supplier records.

Direct QC Booking and Lab Test Tracking

The `create_booking` tool schedules new quality control services directly from your workspace when a code change triggers a production run. Cascade checks existing bookings via `list_bookings` and schedules the necessary lab tests using `get_lab_test` to keep your logistics pipeline moving. Instead of manually filling out testing forms, you tell the agent to secure a spot for the next shipment. It verifies the supplier details, confirms the booking, and updates your internal tracking files in one run.
