You kind of answer your own question with that description.

Level busts happen. Either TCAS or an alert ATCO shouts, and the situation is (hopefully) recovered safely.

What does not happen is for flight crew to manage level change against the TCAS display. TCAS is a safety net. It is not a navigation aid, and use as such is strongly discouraged.
