Frequently asked questions
Can I see a summary of a candidate's test performance without pulling the full raw data?
Yes. Use the get_assessment_result_exhibit tool. It provides a streamlined view of the candidate's performance, making it easier for your AI to summarize the results for you.
How do I invite multiple candidates to a specific assessment at once?
You can use the invite_candidates tool. Simply provide the assessment ID and the candidate data payload, and the server will handle the invitations through the Qualified.io API.
Is it possible to reopen a test for a candidate who had technical issues?
Yes, you can use the schedule_retry_assessment_result tool with the specific Result ID to allow the candidate to retake or continue their assessment.
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.
