### Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Background Agent (GitHub, Slack, Web, Linear)

### Describe the Bug

Using a Cursor cloud agent, the agent is unable to update the PR description with a Slack Thread. Looks like the internal `ManagePullRequest` tool is blocking it specifically.

I see a recent issue that was closed with similar issue for linear: [Cursor Agent is unable to include a Linear URL in a Github PR](https://forum.cursor.com/t/cursor-agent-is-unable-to-include-a-linear-url-in-a-github-pr/156078)

Attaching a screenshot showing the output I am getting.

### Steps to Reproduce

Ask Cursor to include a slack thread in a PR description

### Screenshots / Screen Recordings

### Operating System

MacOS

### Version Information

Using cloud agent from [Cursor.com](http://Cursor.com), so latest

### Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hi Dylan!

This is a confirmed bug. The cloud agent’s PR management validation is incorrectly treating any Slack archive URL in the PR body as system-managed metadata, blocking the update entirely. The same issue also affects Linear URLs in PR descriptions (e.g., from PR templates).

There’s no workaround at the moment since the validation runs server-side. Our team is aware of this and is working on a fix to properly distinguish between user-supplied URLs and the system-managed ones. Thanks for flagging it.
