### Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

### Describe the request

In the Cursor Glass Agent view, it feels unnatural not to be able to rename a workspace.  
Is there a particular reason for this limitation?

The autogenerated workspace titles are sometimes very messy and hard to parse.

### Screenshot / Screen Recording

Thanks for the suggestion, and for the screenshot.

You’re right that there isn’t currently a way to rename a workspace itself in the Agents view. The workspace title shown there is generated automatically from the folder or repository name, and there’s no manual override for it yet.

A couple of related things that do work today, in case they help in the meantime:

- You can rename individual agents. Double-click an agent’s name in the list, or right-click it and choose Rename.
- When you create a workspace from more than one folder (a multi-root workspace), you can give it a custom name at the point of creation.

We don’t have a confirmed work item on this, but we can re-visit it in the future (and others can weigh in here, which helps us to prioritize these types of things)

My issue is that I am working inside a working directory of another program.

It is named admin and cannot be changed without breaking things.

There are workarounds that I can use, but I would prefer not to.
