Somewhere else…
Hi, my cursor is stuck on the tool calling, even with echo or ls. It occurs beginning today, and I did’t do anything related, but installed opencode. To be honest, I am not sure it is related; the ps ax only shows cursor processes and no opencode processes.
In cursor-agent, invoke ! ls, it will hang there.
The tool calling should not hang.
retried several times and it barely work.
MacOS
Version: 2.3.41 (Universal)

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue with the CLI where commands get stuck on “Running…”. The team is aware and is working on a fix.
A couple questions to help diagnose:
Which shell are you using: echo $SHELL
Are you running it inside a git repo directory? (I see “cwd is not a git repository” in the screenshot)
Try reinstalling the CLI: curl https://cursor.com/install -fsS | bash
If it still doesn’t work after reinstalling, please share the output of those commands and I’ll pass it to the engineers.
/opt/homebrew/bin/fish
The issue occurs in both git repo and non-git repo
This doesn’t work. I also tried reinstall the cursor IDE, not work.
One WAR seems work, when it is stuck, pkill -f cursor-shell and then the tools won’t hang.

Got it. For cursor-agent, for now we only have your workaround with pkill -f cursor-shell.
I’ll pass it to the engineers: cursor-agent + fish shell + macOS. Bug is in the backlog.
