### Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

### Describe the request

As I’ve been using the “new agent window”, I’ve noticed that I’ve missed how the context usage is displayed in the IDE agent window.  
I can see the usage by hovering over the name in the top of the window, but it would be nice if this were exposed in a spot where I did not have to hover to see this. There looks to be plenty of room available to display this, too.
