Perplexity

Automate Country Health Snapshots

Cascade uses `get_who_country_profile` to grab a complete health overview for any country. You just set the goal—say, 'Get data on Brazil and Japan'—and Cascade handles the ISO-3 calls automatically. You don't need to manually prompt each request. Windsurf processes the list of countries you provide and executes the necessary profile lookups in sequence.

Multi-Step Indicator Data Retrieval

When you need deep data, Cascade first searches for codes using `search_who_indicators`. It then feeds those results into `get_who_indicator_data` to pull specific values by year. This handles the complexity of finding and retrieving indicators with sex disaggregation. This multi-step process means your AI client doesn't choke when dealing with indicator codes, letting you focus purely on what question you need answered.

Search 2200+ Global Indicators

`search_who_indicators` lets Cascade query over 2,200 global health indicators from the WHO. You can start by searching for 'immunization coverage' without knowing the exact code. It surfaces the correct codes and details across 194 countries, covering everything from mortality rates to life expectancy.
