Direct GraphQL execution in Windsurf

Cascade reads your schema and fires off requests using `execute_graphql`. It handles your mutations and queries without you writing a single line of boilerplate. Stop switching windows to test endpoints. Your agent hits your Hasura instance directly, returning the data right into your active chat context.

Deep query analysis for your Windsurf agent

When your queries slow down, use `explain_graphql` to see the underlying SQL plan. Cascade interprets the output to suggest index changes or query refactoring. It’s about understanding what the database is doing. You get the execution breakdown immediately, allowing for faster iterations inside your IDE.

Manage Hasura metadata from Windsurf

The `execute_metadata` tool lets your agent modify your backend configuration on the fly. It’s perfect for updating permissions or adding new tracked tables. Keep your focus on the code. You don't need to leave your editor to adjust the Hasura setup, as the agent handles the heavy lifting through the metadata API.
