Our Cursor cloud agent cannot update pr descriptions or make pr comments. Our cloud agent has all the github app permissions cursor asks for but says it does not have the right permissoins to edit pr descriptions or add pr comments… is there a way we can do that? can cursor please include those permissions in their github integration?
This is a known limitation. Cloud agent tokens are intentionally scoped with conservative GitHub permissions for security reasons — they currently don’t include write access to PR descriptions or the ability to post PR comments, even if your GitHub App installation has those permissions granted.
The gap between what you see in the GitHub App settings and what the agent token actually gets is by design — the agent operates with a more restricted set of permissions than the full app installation.
Our team is aware of this and working on making cloud agent GitHub permissions more configurable. In the meantime, PR descriptions and comments would need to be managed manually or through other automation outside of the cloud agent.
Also, I noticed you posted this same question as a reply on another thread — for visibility, it’s best to keep it in this dedicated thread so our team can track it properly.
