Handle Complex Booking Flows

Need to schedule a full client onboarding? You don't have to prompt for every step. Cascade figures it out. Windsurf uses `list_staff` and `get_staff_slots` first, then chains that context into the final action: calling `book_appointment`. It handles the whole sequence autonomously based on your goal.

Maintain Staff & Service Lists

Getting setup data is simple. Use `list_staff` to see who works for you, or check out all options with `list_services`. This lets your agent build accurate booking rules. If you're dealing with multiple locations, the server also exposes `list_workspaces`, so you can scope down exactly where the bookings need to happen.

Manage Existing Appointments

Don't just book—manage. You can call `list_appointments` to see everything that's on the books, or use `cancel_appointment` if a client needs to reschedule. Windsurf makes this easy: set the goal 'Cancel the appointment for Smith,' and Cascade finds the right tool and executes the cancellation instantly.
