fix(cursor): surface the data-policy action required and name the real catalog in native-exec denials - #4578
Conversation
…e failed_precondition An account that has not acknowledged the Fable data-retention policy got only "Cursor Connect error failed_precondition: Error". The upstream Connect end-stream frame carries details[] with type aiserver.v1.ErrorDetails and a base64 protobuf value naming the gate; parseConnectEndStreamError read code and message and discarded details entirely, so the user never learned what to approve or where. Recognize that one known gate from a bounded read-only projection of the protobuf (MODEL_BLOCKED plus the exact policy title and detail) and return code-owned text with Cursor's own dashboard review URL. Recognition is deliberately narrow: <=8 detail entries, <=16 KiB of base64 with a strict round-trip check, <=128 fields, <=256-byte strings, group wire types and duplicate fields refused. Unknown or malformed details keep today's exact generic Connect error. Nothing upstream is forwarded. The buttons, URLs, analytics, consent actions and the optional debug representation are all skipped rather than interpreted, so an attacker-controlled upstream string cannot reach the client or perturb downstream keyword classification. Accepting the policy remains a user action in Cursor, and the failure stays a non-retryable 400. Closes #4508 Co-authored-by: HeiTuz <79418013+eusine@users.noreply.github.com>
…ll bridge exists With nativeLocalExec off, every denied Cursor-native fs/shell/fetch exec returned a fixed string telling the model to re-issue through shell_command / exec_command. That is right for a Codex-style catalog carrying a shell bridge and wrong for a client whose catalog has no execution path at all. cursor/kimi-k3 takes it literally: it looks for the named bridge, does not find it, and ends the turn reporting that the tools it was told to use are missing, instead of calling the delegation tool that is listed. The shell-alias system note is already gated on cursorRequestHasShellAlias; the exec-channel refusal was not. Add cursorNativeExecRedirectHint: when the turn's visible catalog carries neither a shell alias nor an execution path, build a redirect that names the request's actual wire names, client tools as ocx_client_* or their namespaced form and configured MCP tools as mcp_<provider>_<name>, capped at 16 with a (+N more) suffix. Every reject*ExecForPolicy helper takes the hint and falls back to its existing text, so a catalog that does carry exec_command or shell_command is byte-identical to before. The wording stays neutral about capability and never asserts the catalog lacks a read, grep or fetch tool, so a listed MCP read_file is not contradicted, and it keeps the silent-redirect vocabulary contract.

…ument both surfaces Wire cursorNativeExecRedirectHint into the per-request exec context from that turn's visible catalog and advertised MCP tools, so a catalog that gains or loses a shell alias between turns re-derives rather than reusing a stale hint, and prefer the recognized policy explanation in parseConnectEndStreamError.

Document the full denial scope.
State that the catalog-aware redirect applies to denied filesystem, shell, network, and related native operations. Also identify the names as visible client or MCP wire names. The current wording leaves users uncertain whether the behavior applies outside shell and exec requests.
As per path instructions: “State that the hint applies consistently across denied filesystem, shell, network, and related operations,” and name “actual visible client or MCP tool wire names.”

Merging into dev under the single-maintainer dev integration clause in MAINTAINERS.md. Exact-head evidence at c19cdde: 29 successes, 2 skips, no failures. Reviewed independently before merge. parseConnectEndStreamError in src/adapters/cursor/live-transport.ts now routes Connect error details through the new src/adapters/cursor/policy-error.ts, which does a bounded read-only projection and returns code-owned text with the dashboard review link instead of collapsing the data-policy condition into a bare failed_precondition. cursorNativeExecRedirectHint in src/adapters/cursor/native-exec.ts names the request's real wire tool names, and only when the catalog has neither a shell alias nor an execution path, so bridged catalogs keep byte-identical output. Both carried contributors are credited with Co-authored-by trailers in branch commits, verified on the branch rather than in prose. Local suite runs: NOT RUN. Hosted CI at the exact head is the proof of record. |

Summary
Two Cursor adapter failures where the proxy told the user, or the model, something
that was not actionable.
#4508 — the data-policy gate was flattened to
failed_precondition: Error. Anaccount that has not acknowledged the Fable data-retention policy got only
stream disconnected before completion: Cursor invalid request: Cursor Connect error failed_precondition: Error, while the native Cursor CLI on the same account and thesame wire model reported
ActionRequiredError: Review Data Policy. The upstreamConnect end-stream frame does carry the reason:
details[]holds aaiserver.v1.ErrorDetailsentry whose base64 protobuf names MODEL_BLOCKED plus thepolicy title and detail.
parseConnectEndStreamErrorreadcodeandmessageanddiscarded
detailsentirely, so the one thing the user needed — what to approve andwhere — was the one thing thrown away.
It now recognizes that single known gate from a bounded read-only projection of the
protobuf and returns code-owned text with Cursor's own dashboard review URL.
Recognition is deliberately narrow: at most 8 detail entries, 16 KiB of base64 with a
canonical round-trip check, 128 fields, 256-byte strings, with group wire types and
duplicate fields refused. Anything unknown or malformed keeps today's exact generic
Connect error.
Nothing upstream is forwarded. The buttons, URLs, analytics, consent actions and the
optional
debugrepresentation are skipped rather than interpreted, so anattacker-controlled upstream string can neither reach the client nor perturb the
downstream keyword classification in
classifyCursorError. Accepting a policy staysa user action in Cursor, and the failure stays a non-retryable 400.
#4542 — the native-exec refusal named tools the catalog did not have. With
nativeLocalExecoff, every denied Cursor-native fs/shell/fetch exec returned a fixedstring telling the model to re-issue through
shell_command/exec_command. That iscorrect for a Codex-style catalog carrying a shell bridge and wrong for a client whose
catalog has no execution path at all — an orchestrator that exposes only a
taskdelegation tool, for example.
cursor/kimi-k3takes the refusal literally: it looksfor the named bridge, does not find it, and ends the turn reporting that the tools it
was told to use are missing, instead of calling the delegation tool that is listed.
The issue measured 2/6 delegations on stock 2.53.0 against 2/2 for the same model
through another provider, so the wording was the variable, not the model. The
shell-alias system note was already gated on
cursorRequestHasShellAlias; theexec-channel refusal was not.
cursorNativeExecRedirectHintnow builds a redirect from the turn's visible catalogwhen it carries neither a shell alias nor an execution path, naming the request's real
wire names — client tools as
ocx_client_*or their namespaced form, configured MCPtools as
mcp_<provider>_<name>— capped at 16 with a(+N more)suffix. Everyreject*ExecForPolicyhelper takes the hint and falls back to its existing text, so acatalog that does carry
exec_command,shell_commandor unifiedexecproducesbyte-identical output to before. The wording stays neutral about capability and never
claims the catalog lacks a read, grep or fetch tool, so a listed MCP
read_fileisnever contradicted, and it keeps the silent-redirect vocabulary contract.
Carries two contributor pull requests and supersedes both:
src/adapters/cursor/files and the regression block. Its
structure/appendix is dropped: appending thesame cross-reference sentence to eight shared
structure/docs is what made that PRconflict with
dev, and those docs are owned by other lanes this round.shell_command/exec_commandeven when the catalog has no shell tool; kimi-k3 abandons the turn instead of calling the listed client tools #4542. Carried as written, minus itsstructure/hunk.Both authors are named in
Co-authored-bytrailers on branch commits so theattribution survives the squash.
Closes #4508
Closes #4542
Verification
bun run test, nobun test, nobun run typecheck, nobun install, nobun run build:gui. This worktree has nonode_modulesand the delivery lane forbids local suite runs. Hosted CI at the exactfinal head is the proof for this unit.
a pre-implementation audit of both carried diffs against current
dev, and apre-push review of the complete tree. The findings that mattered:
tsconfig.jsonisstrictwithoutexactOptionalPropertyTypes,noUnusedLocalsor
noUnusedParametersand includessrconly, so assigning a possibly-undefinedhint into the optional property is legal;
BinaryReader.skip(wireType, fieldNo?)in@bufbuild/protobuf2.14 makes the single-argument call legal; the new policy textmatches no retry, quota or auth keyword in
isRetryableCursorError,classifyCursorError,inferHttpStatusFromAdapterMessageorclassifyError, sothe failure keeps its 400 /
invalid_request_errorshape; and no existing test pinsthe full refusal strings —
cursor-silent-redirect.test.tscallsnativeShellDisabledMessage()with no arguments and regex-matches theNATIVE_LOCAL_EXEC_DISABLEDsource literal, both of which are unchanged.Regression tests added next to the existing tests for each subsystem:
tests/providers/cursor/cursor-live-transport.test.ts— the policy gate producesthe review path and keeps 400 / non-retryable; upstream messages, buttons, actions,
URLs and debug text are never forwarded;
debugis not trusted in place of thebinary value; unknown type, error kind, policy text and other Connect codes keep
generic behaviour; malformed, oversized and unpadded base64 fall back without
throwing; field and entry scanning is bounded.
tests/providers/cursor/cursor-native-exec-policy.test.ts— the hint names clientwire names and configured MCP tools, caps a long catalog, and is suppressed for a
shell bridge, a unified
exec, an empty catalog and an undefined catalog; all tendenial paths carry it while writing no file, deleting no file, running no command
and never calling
fetch; the default bridge wording is unchanged without a hint;and the live transport derives the hint from each turn's visible catalog.
One deliberate change from the carried work: #4544's transport test drove
LiveCursorTransportthrough a stub of a private method, which pins a seam ratherthan the production path. Neither carried PR ever ran the hosted suite — both are
drafts whose suite never started — so that test was not proven either. It is replaced
with a source-oracle assertion that the production per-request
execContextassignment derives the hint from
cursorVisibleToolsandmcpToolDefs.Checklist
Note for the maintainer:
docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/adapters.mdis updatedfor both surfaces.
structure/providers/cursor.mdis intentionally untouched — thislane's write scope is
src/adapters/cursor/and its tests, and the sharedstructure/docs are being edited by concurrent lanes.
bun run structure:checkshould stay greenregardless, since
src/adapters/is already claimed by eight docs and none of itsthree failure modes applies here, but the ownership note for
policy-error.tsandcursorNativeExecRedirectHintis worth a follow-up once the round has landed.Summary by CodeRabbit
