Manage Warranty Claims via the Umbrellar MCP Server

You submit a new claim using `create_claim`. Cascade handles the whole sequence: it first checks if the product is eligible with `check_product_eligibility`, then submits the necessary data, and finally returns the unique claim ID. This lets you build multi-step workflows. Need to list all current claims? Just run `list_claims` and let Cascade pick up the results to feed into a summary report. It's designed for complex goal setting.

Policy Retrieval with Windsurf

`get_policy` retrieves detailed warranty policy information when you provide an ID or order name. You don't have to switch tools; Windsurf manages that context internally. Want to validate a policy first? Use `validate_policy`. It confirms if the policy exists before any other action, saving your agent time and preventing errors in your overall workflow.

Syncing Product Data with Umbrellar MCP Server

`sync_products` lets you keep product catalogs consistent across platforms like Shopify. You kick off the sync process, and Windsurf waits for confirmation that the data exchange completed successfully. This tool keeps your inventory records accurate. Pairing this with `register_product` means you can automate both listing items *and* getting them officially logged into the warranty system.
