Feature request for product/service
Cursor IDE
Describe the request
I would like to suggest a small but very useful improvement for Cursor 3.0 Agent replies.
It would be great to have extra details shown for each agent response, such as:
- Copy as Markdown — copy the full raw markdown of the reply, not only the rendered text
- Token usage — show how many tokens were used for the request and for the response
- Execution time — show how long the request took from start to finish
Why this matters
In Cursor 3.0, the workflow is much more focused on agents, review, and iteration. Because of that, an agent reply is not just chat text anymore. It is part of the working process.
Having these details would make replies much more useful.
1. Copy as Markdown
This would help when reusing agent output in:
- documentation
- GitHub issues
- pull requests
- notes
- task descriptions
- external tools
Right now, it is often much more useful to copy the original markdown instead of copied rendered text.
2. Token usage
It would be very helpful to see:
- input tokens
- output tokens
- maybe even total tokens
This would help users better understand:
- prompt efficiency
- context size impact
- model usage
- cost awareness
This is especially useful for people who actively compare workflows and try to reduce unnecessary token usage.
3. Execution time
It would also be useful to see how long the reply took.
For example:
- was it a fast answer
- did it take longer because of tools
- did large context slow it down
- was the agent doing more reasoning steps
This gives better visibility into how the workflow behaves.
Suggested UI
This could be shown in a small row under each agent response, for example:
- Copy Markdown
- Tokens: 2.8k in / 1.1k out
- Time: 14.2s
I think this would be a very strong quality-of-life improvement for Cursor 3.0, especially for users who work with Agent mode every day.
