The question feature in agent chat is terrible. Regularly stops plan creation, can’t get it to go back and explain before asking me questions I can’t answer.
Can I switch it off? I’d rather the agent asks me questions in text and I respond in chat.
Hey, thanks for the feedback. I get it. When AskQuestion pops up at a bad time and breaks the flow of plan creation, it’s annoying.
There’s no toggle right now to disable only structured questions. A workaround is a Cursor Rule that explicitly tells the agent to ask questions as plain text in chat, not via the AskQuestion tool. For example, create .cursor/rules/no-ask-question.mdc with something like this:
---
description: Inline questions only
alwaysApply: true
---
When you need clarification, ask the question as plain text in the chat and wait for my reply. Do not use the AskQuestion tool.

I can’t promise a built-in setting. There’s no timeline for that toggle. Let me know if the rule helps.
The feature breaks the flow of things. Please get rid of it or at least allow me to disable it.
It is legitimately a major factor in me evaluating whether I should switch to Claude or Codex.
