Perplexity

Identify necessary drivers for a shift

Windsurf figures out which drivers are needed before you even write a prompt. Use `list_upper_drivers` to pull the complete roster of available delivery personnel. It also pulls all active routes via `list_upper_routes`, letting Cascade compare capacity against your current staffing levels.

Schedule and assign new tasks

Need to add a stop or change the workload? Just state the goal. Windsurf runs `create_upper_delivery_task` to immediately draft the new assignment into the system. This automatically updates your operational schedule, keeping all delivery logistics current within one agent run.

Deep dive into specific stop data

If you need details on a single point along the route, Windsurf handles it. Call `get_upper_stop_details` to grab everything about a given location. It also lets your agent check a precise waypoint using `get_upper_route_stop`, perfect for validating service points before finalizing the plan.
