Approval Agent won't approve Cloud Agent-created PRs

If you have a Cursor Cloud Agent create a PR, it does not have a Bugbot comment added to the description. This appears to be a problem for Approval Agents with Maximum Risk for Approvalenabled.

Here is the agent output:

Risk: low — *******REDACTED*******

Automated checks

Cursor Bugbot: passed (check output reports no issues)
Cursor Security Agent: not present on this PR (skipped)
Approval policies: No APPROVAL_POLICY.md, ROUTING.md, or reviewer-specific policies found.

Decision: Did not approve. Bugbot completed successfully, but no Cursor[bot] review comment with the expected marker is on the PR; per policy that blocks auto-approval even when the check passes.

I’m not sure if this is a bug or intentional behavior, but it’s pretty confusing.

Thanks for flagging this, @Reid_Greer! Something is definitely off here, and I’ve passed it along to the team.

As a workaround, you can add an extra instruction to the review agent, such as:

When the bugbot check passes but no comment is left, approve.

That said, we should improve how this works by default!
