Describe the Bug After the last update, I had an agent auto-run “git commit”, which I do NOT have in the Command Allowlist in settings! I noticed the tool title in chat is named “Auto-Run command in sandbox: git commit”, and in the bottom left corner it said “Auto-run in Sandbox”. I assume this has…

Hey, thanks for the report. It seems like you’re encountering the sandbox auto-run feature that was recently introduced. When you see “Auto-run in Sandbox” in the bottom left, Cursor is executing commands in an isolated environment rather than your actual terminal, which is why it’s bypassing your C…

@danlee I think you are missing my main point and just how serious this is. It is now auto-running commands that I did not permit it to run! This auto runs and affects real data. For example, it ran git commit which I do not allow and it really did commit to git. I also mentioned in my report that …

Did the settings change again? I now ONLY see the allowlist in Sandbox auto-run mode and there is no option that actually uses the allow-list! …that can’t be right…? Options for auto mode that I see: [Screenshot 2025-10-15 at 11.35.08 AM] Only see allow list for sandbox mode: [Screenshot 2025-…

It looks like this combo ran the command this time (ignore the “Run” button in the image. It ran after I added tail to the allow-list) [Screenshot 2025-10-15 at 12.27.02 PM] I’m still not crystal clear on what settings actually reduce to the exact allow list. Perhaps the information could be impr…

No I was wrong. still very much an issue. With these settings it would not run an allow-list command (you can see it git status is in there: [Screenshot 2025-10-15 at 12.36.05 PM] When I switched to “Auto-Run in Sandbox” this pop-up makes it sound like it is exactly what I want: run commands tha…

For some reason in another chat it did run my allow-list command without asking (like 2 replies above). I have no idea what the difference is. Two chats in the same session, with the same model, with the same “Cursor Settings” I show in my last reply, and one says only auto-run while the other menti…

why don’t i have this settings available at all? [image] [image]

I want your “Use Allowlist”…wanna trade? :wink:

Enable the “Legacy Terminal Tool” option, then the sandbox options will disappear. [image]

Thank you. I will as a workaround, but I do like using the latest and greatest when possible. Is there any official word how to simply use the allow-list without dangerous command usage leaking in? I do consider the of git commit to be dangerous, even though it isn’t destructive in the sense of los…
