Tool call timed out after 5s (codebase search)

[emmahyde]

Hello,
I’ve updated to 0.50.4 and am still getting Tool call timeout after 5s (codebase search).

To update, I fully wiped my installation as recommended in the possible solution.

1. I deleted Cursor
2. I deleted ~/Library/Application\ Support/Cursor/*
3. I deleted ~/Library/Preferences/com.cursor.app.plist

You can see Tool call timeout after 5s (codebase search). in the chat on the right side - this is using Auto model.

For me, the bug is still present. Either bring the tool call timeout back up to 25s at least for the internal codebase_search tool, or another short-term solution would be giving users control over their tool timeouts in general.

While I understand this constraint for custom MCP servers and tools, it’s really frustrating when it is Cursor’s own indexed RAG search tool that is timing out – it degrades trust that Cursor is actually capable of reading a codebase, which is the functionality we are most invested in the product for.
