Hey, this isn’t a Cursor bug. The error is coming straight from Anthropic content moderation, and we’re just passing it through as-is. Opus 4.7 has noticeably stricter filters than 4.6, and we’re currently seeing a lot of false positives on legit code, not just for you. What you can try: Switch to a different model like GPT-5, Gemini 3 Pro, or Sonnet 4.6. It should go through without getting blocked. Remove files from the context that might trigger the filter, like auth, crypto, networking, network protocol parsers, and similar. @Kira18 this applies to you too. Please save the Request ID in case we escalate it. We can’t directly change the filter behavior on the Cursor side. That’s Anthropic’s decision. If Opus 4.7 is critical for you, reply with what type of project it is, no details, just the domain, and I’ll pass it along as a false positive signal.
