Frequently asked questions
Can my agent check the ML ranking for a specific product search?
Yes. Use the 'search_products' tool. The agent will retrieve results ranked by Constructor's ML engine, allowing you to audit how products are surfaced based on specific keywords and intent signals.
How do I retrieve personalized recommendations via the agent?
Provide the 'pod_id' to your agent and use the 'get_recommendations' tool. The agent will query the collaborative filtering models to return a list of products tailored to your specified recommendation logic.
Can I test attribute filtering like color or size through chat?
Absolutely. The 'search_filtered' tool allows you to pass exact attribute mappings (e.g., 'color:blue,size:L'). Your agent will verify how the API restricts results to those specific structural bounds.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
