Search Compliance Data with Windsurf

The `search_legislation` tool lets you find matching acts, statutory instruments, and other legislative documents by simply defining search criteria. Instead of manually checking dozens of databases, Cascade executes a full search, giving you a clean list of relevant titles. Need to drill down? Use the `search_by_subject` tool next. This narrows the focus dramatically, letting your agent pull specific areas of law without getting bogged down in general search results.

Map Out Legislative Structures

Figuring out a complex piece of law? The `get_table_of_contents` tool outlines the entire structure for you. Cascade reads this map, showing you exactly how the legislation is organized. If you need to jump to a specific part, the `get_section` tool takes over. You provide the section number, and your agent instantly pulls that exact text, so you never have to read through hundreds of pages just for one clause.

Track Legal Updates with Windsurf

Keeping up with law changes is a nightmare. The `get_recent_legislation` tool solves this by pulling the latest published acts directly into your workflow. Cascade can monitor these updates automatically. Want to know what's new for an entire year? Just run `get_legislation_by_year`. It compiles all available documents for that period, letting you build a timeline of regulatory changes.
