Subject: Agent stacked parallel VPS deploys → CPU max → hosting probation / business downtime

Sorry to hear that happened @Densesoft_Corp! That sounds painful.

A couple of questions to narrow it down:

  • How did you have your rules configured? Were they set with alwaysApply: true in the frontmatter? That affects whether they’re reliably in the model’s context in the first place. Keep in mind that rules are instructions for the model, which may not always follow them reliably.

  • How was auto-run configured (Cursor Settings → Agents → Approvals & Execution)? If it was set to Run Everything, that’s likely a big part of what allowed the parallel deploy storm.

Auto-Review Run Mode is a fairly new feature in Cursor that should help prevent dangerous commands (like a deploy storm) from being executed! I’d highly recommend enabling it if you haven’t already.
