Changelog You can now let your agent run longer with fewer interruptions! Auto-review is a new run mode that lets Cursor work for longer with fewer approval prompts, while keeping execution safe. It applies to Shell, MCP, and Fetch tool calls. Every call goes through three checks in order: All…

Nice, however it would be better if I could add a specific instruction to the classifier: e.g. “Do not run any npx commands, allow all read only commands, disallow any commands that would modify files outside of the project directory”.

[image] liquefy: Do not run any npx commands, allow all read only commands, disallow any commands that would modify files outside of the project directory You can do that with a .cursor/permissions.json file in your repo! { "autoRun": { "allow_instructions": [ "Allow read-only sh…

I would like to have Auto-Review (without sandbox) option. To me, sandbox never properly works, just confuses the model, and I don’t even understand the value proposition of it. Allowlist + Classifier (with instructions) should be good enough. No need for sandbox at all.

Certainly a good idea , that we’ll consider. Thanks.

Feature request: bring Auto-review to the Cursor CLI The CLI (agent) only exposes approvalMode: “allowlist” or “unrestricted” — there’s no equivalent of the IDE’s Auto-review classifier. For people running agents in Docker sandboxes, CI, or headless (agent -p) mode, this gap matters: unrestricted…

@Colin would you be able to support my feature request for enabling Auto-review Run Mode on Cursor CLI? This will make Cursor CLI more attractive than Claude Code for me. They are the only two AI coding agents I have access to at work, and our Cursor budgets are a lot higher so I can use it more.

So I enabled this. Programmed a bit. Took longer ansd longer. Then needed to go to bed, gave it a simple task like 30 seconds normally fix. Came back the next morning, it was still stuck in a “Explored 2 files, 3 searches, chat context summarized” LOOP like over and over and over again explored and …

[image] Tarek Adel: would you be able to support my feature request for enabling Auto-review Run Mode on Cursor CLI? We’re working on it already!

@DartsGondel , can you share more about what went wrong with the Auto-review (approval) of commands?

Yeah it popped up as a new feature and asked if I wanted to enable it. I said yes. Then my tasks got slower and slower as the agent was keeping doing Explored - chat context summarized. Like over and over and over. Then I had to go to bed because it took SO long on a 30 second bug fix. Next morning…
