### Feature request for product/service Chat ### Describe the request The ability for the agent to rename the chat session. This way I can allow my rules to inform the agent when to rename it, add starting tags like ‘Fix - xxxx’ etc or when using Linear, and asking for a list of todo cards ends up with a chat called ‘XX issues in Linear’, even tho we worked on one or two. Agent said: ‘Unfortunately, I don’t have any tool or capability to rename Cursor chat sessions programmatically – there’s no API or MCP action for that. The chat title is set automatically by Cursor based on the initial message content, and I can’t change it after the fact.’ ### Operating System (if it applies) MacOS ---

+1 on this. I have a bunch of sessions named “Pull request review” and I just have to click around for a while to find the one for the PR I am looking at. I want to give the agent instructions to name the session. ![So Many](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/4/9/498583d70aa1efb83cfb1644decea6a73764d5bf.png)
