Autonomous contact management in Windsurf

Cascade reads your local project context and maps your intent to specific API calls. When you ask to organize your network, it fires `list_contacts` and `list_contact_groups` to build a map of your connections before taking action. It doesn't stop at reading. Cascade chains these operations to `create_contact` or `update_contact` in one go, ensuring your CRM data stays current while you write code.

Deep search with Google Contacts tools

Stop digging through browser tabs to find a phone number or email address. You tell Windsurf who you need, and it runs `search_contacts` to pull the exact record into your active file. This keeps your focus on the logic. If you need to verify a contact's details before a commit, Cascade triggers `get_contact` and displays the data right in your chat panel.

Safe edits for your contact records

Updating a contact requires an etag to prevent data collisions. Cascade handles this handshake automatically, pulling the current state with `get_contact` before applying changes via `update_contact`. This prevents accidental overwrites during high-speed development. You get the speed of automation with the safety of a transactional update process.
