Autonomous Messaging with Windsurf

Cascade uses `send_sms_message` to fire off text notifications the moment your code triggers an alert. You don't have to prompt it step-by-step. It reads your error logs, decides who needs to know, and executes the send. If a critical failure demands immediate attention, the agent switches to `send_tts_voice_call` to wake up the on-call engineer. It can even generate a document and fire off a `send_digital_fax` to legacy vendor systems without you lifting a finger.

Real-Time Delivery Tracking

You need to know if those alerts actually landed, so the agent calls `get_message_delivery_status` to verify receipt. Cascade handles the polling logic automatically in the background. When users text back, the server pulls the data via `list_received_sms_replies`. Your IDE can then parse those responses and tie them directly to your billing metrics using `get_messaging_usage_report`, giving you a clear picture of what your notifications cost.

Managing the TNZ Communications MCP Server

Before running a massive notification campaign, Cascade runs `check_api_health` and verifies your funds using `get_account_balance`. If you need to hit a specific demographic, it pulls your saved layouts from `list_message_templates`. The agent manages your audience by reading `list_contact_groups` and pulling individual records via `list_tnz_contacts`. If a new user signs up, Windsurf just executes `create_tnz_contact` to keep the database current.
