Recommended action: Check .cursorignore (including parent directories) and permissions configuration; edit protected Cursor config files yourself rather than via the agent.
Option: Check .cursorignore (including parent directories) and permissions configuration; edit protected Cursor config files yourself rather than via the agent. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Agent read/write/delete tools on paths covered by .cursorignore, Cursor internal files, or permissions.json rules
Steps:
1. Search for .cursorignore files up the tree and test the path against them.
2. For .cursor/permissions.json or mcp-approvals.json, edit manually.
3. Review readonly permissions if writes are blocked.
Expected: The error no longer appears.
