Perplexity

Manage users directly from Windsurf

Cascade can pull your entire user list using `list_users` or grab specifics with `get_user_details`. It handles onboarding and status changes in real-time. You can trigger `invite_user` for new hires or lock accounts with `freeze_user` when access needs to be cut. It keeps your workspace in sync with your LMS state.

Track course progress automatically

Stop hunting for reports by having your agent run `list_completed_assignments` or `list_overdue_assignments` on demand. It pulls the raw data directly into your context window. Windsurf reads these lists to identify gaps in training. You can then use `update_user` to nudge staff who are behind schedule based on the latest report.

Organize learners into groups

Run `list_groups` to see how your team is segmented inside the LMS. This lets you align your training strategy with actual company structure. Once you have the group data, you can cross-reference it with individual records. It makes identifying which departments need immediate follow-up a quick task.
