### Describe the request

I am using cursor cli on headless mode to implement an automation.

Ran into these things that make my life harder:

can’t disable tools calls  
doesn’t support JSON schema structured responses  
disable thinking - I’ve a custom logic to choose non-thinking models to solve that  
any idea if some of these bullets going to be address by any chance? thanks!
