Constantly getting 'edit_file' tool not available

Thanks for reporting a bug you have found in Cursor!
Please add the following info to help us diagnose your issue:

:white_check_mark: Check the forum to ensure the issue hasn’t been reported already
:lady_beetle: I am editing a python script. When I first started with this script, with cursor, everything was working fine. Then, it started just not working, constantly getting this error that it can’t find the ‘edit_file’ tool, or that that tool is not in it’s list of tools. I ask it about this issue directly and it acknowledges the problem, but it seems nothing can be done?
:counterclockwise_arrows_button: Explain how to reproduce the bug (if known)
I don’t know. Open cursor, use it for a while, see if it randomly starts happening.

:camera: Attach screenshots or recordings (e.g., .jpg, .png, .mp4).

:laptop: Tell us your operating system and your Cursor version (e.g., Windows, 0.x.x).

:prohibited: Tell us if the issue stops you from using Cursor.
This issue makes cursor completely useless. I have chatgpt, if I wanted to just ask an AI about my code I can just do that elsewhere. The entire point of cursor is to have something working with me inline.
