Team/Workspace rules applied even when deactivated

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

We have a team/workspace rule that is optional for all members.
I’ve explicitly disabled it in Cursor, but it’s still added to the context.

Steps to Reproduce

I’ve created a team/workspace rule on cursor.com.
Inside cursor I’ve then disabled the rule.

When I start a new thread, then the rule is added to the context anyway.

Expected Behavior

The rule should not be added to the context, when I’ve disabled it.

For AI issues: which model did you use?

I’ve tried multiple agents - e.g. Opus 4.7 and Composer 2.5

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue
