(also disallowedTools, systemPrompt) / '`systemPrompt` must be n… ## Body Cause (Documented platform behavior): Cloud agent creation validates that tools, disallowedTools and systemPrompt are unset because those are only implemented for local agents; systemPrompt must be non-empty when given. Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Source is the minified dist bundle of @cursor/sdk 1.0.32 on npm (Cursor has no public source repo); the same runtime is presumed shared with the Cursor agent CLI/IDE but that is not verified. - Not reproduced in this session. Other error fragments: - `systemPrompt` must be non-empty; omit it to keep the default system prompt. Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://registry.npmjs.org/@cursor/sdk/-/sdk-1.0.32.tgz#package/dist/esm/index.js (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Pr() throws for tools, disallowedTools and systemPrompt on cloud agents; Ir() rejects a blank systemPrompt.
