Pull carrier safety records with Windsurf

Cascade uses `get_company_snapshot` to grab live USDOT data the moment you need it. You stop switching tabs to look up carrier compliance records manually. Your agent parses the raw SAFER output into usable data for your current workflow. It identifies inspection history and safety ratings without you leaving the editor.

Automate compliance screening in Windsurf

Chain your safety checks directly to your logistics logic. Windsurf executes the `get_company_snapshot` tool as part of a larger, multi-step plan you define. This keeps your codebase aligned with real-time federal data. If a carrier's status shifts, your agent catches it during the next execution cycle.

Verify USDOT data in Windsurf

Access the `get_company_snapshot` tool to pull identification and crash history for any fleet. It provides the raw facts needed to vet transport partners. Windsurf reads these snapshots to build your internal risk models. You get accurate, government-verified details injected right into your development workspace.
