How many times do we need to see the correction ".... with full permissions:"

… before we get a new version of the tool? This is a ridiculous regression.

Hey, thanks for the report.

To help us look into this, could you share:

  1. What version of Cursor are you using? (Help > About Cursor)
  2. Can you share a screenshot or the exact error message?
  3. Steps to reproduce: what are you doing when it shows up?

Let me know these details.

Please don’t treat me like this is a unique issue. There was a change in permissiveness in cursor and many many commands that require network access now require a double tap.

Thanks for the version details.

Just to clarify, terminal commands require approval by default for safety. If you want fewer prompts:

  • Open Cursor Settings > Agents
  • Check Tool Approval. You can use an allowlist for trusted commands.

Also, can you confirm:

  • Which commands are causing the “double tap”?
  • Is it two prompts in a row for the same command, or one prompt per command?

That’ll help us figure out if this is a bug or expected behavior.

This is not an allowlist issue. I am approving the commands. They then fail because they are being run with a low permission set. The agent then says “trying again with full permissions” then it works. On and on and on and on.

most notably, things that require network access. like git and aws cli

Thanks for the details.

Can you check your current settings? In Cursor Settings > Agents > Auto-Run, what’s selected there? (Auto-Run in Sandbox / Ask Every Time / Run Everything)

Also, if you can, please share a screenshot of that settings section.
