Tools were failing

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Tool’s like READ don’t work. “Everything is failing” (both as a subagent and the main agent). Closing and re-opening did solve it…

Steps to Reproduce

I don’t know… tools just suddenly stopped working.

Expected Behavior

Tools should be working

For AI issues: which model did you use?

composer 2.5 as one of the primary chats; opus 4.6 as one of the other primary chats, composer 2.5 were all the explore subagents.

Additional Information

I was using ssh and a code-workspace. I ssh’d into a linux machine.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Kind of. It stopped me during the session. Restarting it solved it.

Hey @haodocowsfly!

We have had a few issues with the latest version of the SSH extension for Cursor. Could you try reverting to 1.0.49 and let us know if that fixes things temporarily?

Yeah, I’ll try that! I’ll comment again if they start failing again.

unfortunately still can get tools failing
