Describe the Bug

I have noticed very often that as soon as you stop the AI, the error
“Failed to read file” appears.

{“error”:“ERROR_BAD_REQUEST”,“details”:{“title”:“Tool call error”,“detail”:“Failed to read file.”,“additionalInfo”:{},“buttons”:,“planChoices”:},“isExpected”:true}

After that, I can no longer continue writing in the middle of my work. Starting a new chat is extremely annoying because it first has to understand where I was, what happened, and why.

I have seen several posts about this issue, but so far there seems to be no fix.

Does anyone know how to get the chat working again and when this problem will be fixed?

Steps to Reproduce

When I stop him while he’s working

Operating System

Windows 10/11

Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

Latest version
Latest version

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue with Agent when stopping operations, and the team is already investigating it.

To help us diagnose it, please share:

  • Help > About Cursor > Copy: the full version string (you only mentioned “Latest version”)
  • Re-run the request 2–3 times and share the new Request IDs (chat menu > Copy Request ID)

Workaround: starting a new chat, as you’ve been doing.
