Tool call ended before result was received, 2025 Oct

[Holder_Roy]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Recently I frequently got the error say “Tool call ended before result was received” when the cursor accidentally stopped its answer. This error accurs about 3-4 times a day, which strongly blocks my work. And also my pro plan token always takes even though bug.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go on with an Agent mode chat.
2. Cursor helps to generate and run a python script.
3. The running script stopped with error.
4. The Cursor stopped with “Tool call ended before result was received”
5. Even if I repeat my question and tried to let Cursor answer it one more time, it would fail in the same way.

Expected Behavior

The cursor should continue with the chat until it finally finish its answer.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known regression in v1.7.44 related to the terminal tool.

Try this workaround:

1. Cursor Settings > Chat > Inline Editing & Terminal
2. Enable “Legacy Terminal Tool”
3. Restart Cursor

To help diagnose further, could you share:

• Which shell you’re using (bash/zsh/fish)
• Whether you’re working locally or over SSH/container
• Whether enabling the Legacy Terminal Tool helped

Regarding tokens being consumed on errors, I’ve noted your concern along with the Request ID for the team to review.

Let me know if this helps!
