Perplexity

Gathering full team visibility.

Need a headcount or who owns the documentation? Set your goal, and Windsurf figures out the steps. It first runs `list_members` to get names, then checks `list_teams` for departmental context. It won't stop there. If you ask about team structure, it can cross-reference that data with available projects using `list_projects`, giving you a complete organizational overview without manual prompting.

Managing project scope and tasks.

Don't manually check task statuses across multiple areas. Give Windsurf a goal like 'Get me the status of Feature X.' It uses `list_projects` to narrow down the area, then runs `list_tasks` and `get_task_details` on those projects. You can even tell it to update something. If a task needs adjusting, Windsurf handles that with `update_task`, making sure your goal is met from start to finish.

Tracking discussions and documents.

You need context on a specific initiative's history? Tell Windsurf the project name. It first uses `list_doc_folders` to map where files live, and then it pulls the full discussion thread using `list_discussions`. This means you get the 'why' behind the tasks. You can see what was talked about in the discussions before figuring out if a new task needs creating via `create_task`.
