Cursor opens random files when typing in the AI chat box

[litecode]

Hi @chukatuk ,

Here is a related response from the Cursor team and some related posts, for your reference:

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

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
