Pinpoint AI writing in Windsurf
The `detect_ai_in_text` tool scans your highlighted code or text blocks to assign an AI probability score. Windsurf reads these results directly in the Cascade chat, showing you exactly which segments triggered the alert. Stop wasting time on manual reviews. You get an immediate breakdown of perplexity and burstiness, letting you decide if the draft needs a human rewrite before you commit to production.
Manage your API health
Keep your pipeline moving by using `check_api_health` to verify connectivity before running large batches. If something goes wrong, you'll know if it's a network issue or an API outage in seconds. Windsurf hooks into these diagnostics so you aren't left in the dark. It’s about knowing your tools are ready to work when you are.
Monitor your usage in real-time
Track your credit consumption with `get_api_quotas` so you never hit a hard stop mid-project. You can see exactly how many requests you have left without leaving your IDE. Check `get_current_user` to confirm your subscription status and ensure you have the correct access levels. It keeps your development flow moving without unexpected interruptions.
