Can Someone Explain YOLO Mode Exclude List?

Can someone answer this to me very simply:

If I enable ‘yolo mode’ and add a command to the allow list

  • dotnet build project.sln

Will this allow cursor to only run the above command?

In this example, by ‘exclude’ list would be empty, so I’d be concerned that cursor can run any command in my allow list and any command not in my exclude list.

Does anyone have real world experience to confirm that cursor will respect the allow list?

I’d love to turn on yolo mode, but I want to control what can run and what can’t.

yes that will allow Cursor to run only that command. any other command will need your approval.

Do not add any text into the YOLO prompt field, otherwise Cursor wont be able to use that allowed command. (its a bug i guess)
