Auto-review Run Mode

A significant enhancement is the introduction of Auto-review, a new run mode enabling longer, safer Cursor operations with fewer approval prompts. This intelligent mode applies to Shell, MCP, and Fetch tool calls, categorizing actions for immediate execution, sandboxed processing, or classifier subagent review. Users benefit from increased agent autonomy and control, with full configuration options and custom instruction capabilities for the classifier agent available in settings.

Added

  • Auto-review is a new run mode that allows Cursor to work for longer with fewer approval prompts and safer execution.

Changed

  • Auto-review applies to Shell, MCP, and Fetch tool calls. Allowlisted calls run immediately, and calls that can be sandboxed run in the sandbox. All other agent actions go to a classifier subagent that decides whether to allow the call, try a different approach, or ask for your approval.
  • Configure your run mode in **Settings > Cursor Settings > Agents > Approvals & Execution**. You can also steer the classifier agent by giving it custom instructions.
