Catalog discovery for Windsurf

Cascade can hit `list_products` to pull your entire catalog without leaving the IDE. It scans your inventory categories so you don't have to manually track IDs. Once the agent has the list, it builds a local context of your available items. It's ready to draft product pages or update site inventory based on the real-time data it just pulled.

High-fidelity product data for Windsurf

When you need specifics, the agent triggers `get_product`. It grabs the exact metadata for any item, ensuring your storefront code matches the actual Printful catalog. This stops you from guessing product attributes. Windsurf reads the response and builds your UI components with the correct schema, saving you from constant API documentation checks.

Variant and size logic for Windsurf

Your agent handles complex sizing using `get_product_sizes` and `get_variant`. It maps these details to your storefront, making sure customers see accurate options. Cascade chains these calls to verify stock availability before you commit changes. It ensures every order request uses the correct ID, preventing common fulfillment errors.
