Frequently asked questions
Can I check the uptime status of a specific device via AI?
Yes! Use the get_device_details tool and provide the Device ID. Your agent will retrieve the current operational status and basic performance metrics.
How do I see the history of response times for a monitor?
Run the get_device_monitoring_history query with your Device ID. The agent will retrieve a historical log of success/failure states and latency data.
Is it possible to list all geographic monitoring locations via AI?
Absolutely. Use the list_monitoring_locations query. The agent will retrieve the complete list of worldwide regions where Dotcom-Monitor agents are available.
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.
