Perplexity

Autonomous schema exploration

Windsurf uses `list_schema_introspection` to map your entire content model automatically. It builds a local context of your fields so you don't have to hunt through the documentation. Once the structure is clear, you can use `get_model_fields` to verify specific constraints. This keeps your development cycle moving without manual lookup.

Direct GraphQL execution

Stop context-switching between your editor and the API playground. Use `execute_graphql_query` to fetch live data directly into your workspace for immediate component testing. Windsurf handles the request and displays the output in the terminal. You get the raw JSON back, ready for your frontend logic.

Full document lifecycle management

You can push changes to your content directly from the editor. Tools like `create_cms_document` and `update_cms_document` let you modify records in real-time. If you need to clean up your staging environment, `wipe_cms_document` handles the heavy lifting. It's a quick way to maintain a clean state during development.
