Perplexity

List all Wistia projects or videos.

Need to know what content exists? Use `list_projects` to get an inventory of every project you've set up. You can also run `list_videos` to grab a complete list of every piece of media in your account. Cascade plans this out automatically. It doesn't just show lists; it figures out the next step, like pulling down specific captions using `list_video_captions`, so you get exactly what you need.

Get detailed Wistia performance analytics.

Figure out which videos are hitting their stride. Run `get_video_stats` to pull deep analytics on a specific piece of content. You can also use `get_account_analytics` for overall stats across the entire account. Windsurf handles this workflow automatically. It collects the video metrics and combines them with project details from `get_project_details`, giving you a full performance picture without you writing any code.

Manage Wistia metadata and assets.

Sometimes you just gotta update something—a title, description, or setting. Use `update_video_details` to modify the metadata on existing videos. You can also use `get_video_details` first to check what needs fixing. If your plan is bigger than a simple update, Cascade manages it. It reads the current data and executes the necessary modification tools in order, letting you set the final outcome rather than the steps.
