This was my first greeting to Cursor as well. I am not willing to try to debug such things. If the tool errors out with the very first question and persists in doing so, where can we possibly go from here?

All I did was start a new chat and tell Assistant to start the agreed Plan 2, which was nothing more than outlining the frontend development schedule, then my request was blocked!

I am here for same reason ‘detected suspicious activity’. Everywhere, we have been told to give a clear prompt to get a clear output; Giving a clear prompts actually blocked you for using the tool, what is the meaning of that? How can Cursor make our life easy, when I am blocked from last 24hours :smiley:
