The browser tool, SSH tool and more isn’t working anymore
As soon as tool access recovers, I will immediately continue and complete all to-dos end-to-end:
Steps to Reproduce
I asked the ai to fix a script, and all i got was “As soon as tool access recovers, I will immediately continue and complete all to-dos end-to-end:”
Expected Behavior
It would make the file changes, and restart the service.
Hey, this is a known bug: the agent can get stuck in a retry loop when multiple tool calls fail in a row. In your case there were 14 errors: tool failures, permission denied, file not found. The circuit breaker doesn’t trigger correctly here, so the agent doesn’t stop or show a proper error message, and instead prints the “As soon as tool access recovers…” line.
We’ve reported this internally and we’re working on a fix. I can’t share an ETA yet, but I’ll post an update in the thread once I have one.
Workaround for now: start a new chat and rephrase your request. If the agent goes into the loop again, hit Stop right away and try splitting the task into smaller steps. Also check the agent has the right permissions for the files it’s trying to read or edit, some of the errors in your request were due to Permission denied and File not found.
I already had the latest stable version of Cursor.
There was another update later today, and i did restart it, and asked the cursor chat to continue, so it did.
Not sure if they updated something to fix it.
But so far so good.
