Hey, thanks for the report. This looks like a macOS Local Network permissions issue. Updating to v2.4.21 may have triggered new permissions.

Try this:

  1. System Settings > Privacy & Security > Local Network: Check if Cursor is listed there and if the permission is enabled.

  2. If Cursor isn’t there or the permission is off, turn it on and restart Cursor.

  3. Important detail: sometimes macOS shows Cursor under a different app name in that list (like this). Try enabling all apps in the list one by one to narrow it down.

  4. If Cursor never shows up, try running a ping from Cursor’s normal terminal (not the agent terminal), like ping 10.17.1.1. That should trigger the system permission prompt.

  5. If nothing helps, try removing Cursor from the Local Network list and restart the app. macOS should ask for permission again.

Let me know if it worked.
