Hey, thanks for the report. There are no documented limits for Agent Review. This message often shows up when changes aren’t detected due to the repo structure.

Could you share:

  • How you start the review: on a commit in Source Control, on the working tree, or from the agent reply diff
  • Project structure: monorepo, subfolders with separate git repos, submodules
  • Whether Agent Review settings are enabled: Include submodules and Include untracked files
  • A screenshot of the message and the Source Control panel
  • The output of git status and git show --stat for the problematic commit
  • Whether you open the root of the specific git repository in Cursor or a higher-level non-git folder

Quick checks:

  • Open the root of the git repository with the changes and run the review again
  • Try Agent Review from Source Control on uncommitted changes and from the agent reply diff
  • Check the options in settings: https://cursor.com/docs/agent/review

A similar case with subdirectories is described here: 2.1.17: Code review agent doesn't

Let me know the results and attach screenshots and command outputs so we can get to the root cause.
