Hey, this is a known issue with the new terminal tool. There’s a delay between when a command finishes and when the agent notices it.
Try enabling the Legacy Terminal Tool as a workaround:
- Cursor Settings (not VS Code settings) > Agents > Terminal > Legacy Terminal Tool, turn it on
- Restart Cursor
- Check if the delay is gone
Other users report this drops the overhead from 10 to 27 seconds down to under a second. Here are similar threads for context:
The team is aware of the issue. If the workaround helps, let us know. If it doesn’t, please share the Request ID from the affected session (top right chat menu > Copy Request ID).
