Automated Customer and Order Retrieval

The `list_zid_customers` tool lets Cascade pull a list of shop customers. You can then use `get_zid_customer` to grab specific details for any user. Cascade chains these calls, allowing you to set a goal like 'Find all premium users who ordered in the last month' and it executes the multi-step query.

Inventory Status Monitoring

You need to know what you have? Start with `list_zid_inventories` to see a full list of stock levels. From there, Cascade can drill down into specifics using `get_zid_product`. This means your agent figures out which products are low on stock across multiple locations without you having to prompt for each one.

Shop Profile and Status Checks

`check_zid_status` verifies the API connection, making sure everything's working before a big push. You can also pull general store data using `get_zid_shop_profile`. If you need to run an entire sequence—like checking status, pulling shop info, and then listing products—Cascade handles the whole flow for you.
