Search and fetch imagery for Windsurf
Cascade can grab street-level photos using `search_images` to visualize specific coordinates. You just define the area and the agent retrieves the actual visual data. Once you have the image IDs, use `get_image` to pull metadata like timestamps, compass angles, and thumbnail URLs. It saves you from manual lookups in a browser.
Automate traffic sign inventory
Run `get_map_features` to locate traffic signs and road objects within a defined bounding box. This tool maps out infrastructure directly into your project context. Combine this with `get_detection_value` to inspect specific objects for type and GPS precision. It turns raw spatial data into actionable records for your code.
Chain sequence analysis in Windsurf
Use `search_sequences` to identify all image runs passing through a target zone. This gives you a complete view of coverage across a specific route. Follow up with `get_sequence` to drill down into individual runs and their related images. Cascade handles the chaining so you can focus on the analysis.
