Caught cursor scanning my entire disk, what is going on?

I got the MacOS pop ups that Cursor is trying to read my

  • downloads
  • Library
  • Documents
  • iCloud

Folders one after another. So clearly some scanning is happening. What is up with that?

I don’t have any answers but here are some possibly related posts for reference:

I think I have seen a few others that are similar, and perhaps have had an explanation, but I can’t locate them at the moment.

hi! we dont explicitly scan anything. this usually happens when either (a) you open cursor in the home (~/) folder and the file explorer loads up the files or (b) if some extension tries to do it.

we do not explicitly every look outside your workspace directory
