[Bug] Cursor Agent terminal doesnt show/read output in chat

Support Bug Reports
2

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue with the agent terminal on Windows in versions 2.0+.

Try this workaround:

  1. Settings Ctrl+Shift+J → Agents → Inline Editing & Terminal → enable “Legacy Terminal Tool”
  2. Ctrl+Shift+P → “Terminal: Kill All Terminals” → restart Cursor

Details and discussion: Agent Terminal not working

If the Legacy Terminal Tool doesn’t help, please share:

  • The Request ID from the failing step (in chat: right-click → Copy Request ID)
  • Which terminal profile you’re using (PowerShell/CMD/WSL/Git Bash)
  • Whether it’s a local project or via SSH/Remote
  • A screenshot/video of the issue and logs from Help → Toggle Developer Tools → Console

About interactivity: the agent terminal is currently non-interactive by design, and the team is working on improvements.
