Cursor Agents Toolkit
Arcade toolkit for programmatically operating Cursor Cloud Agents — AI coding agents that run on repositories, open PRs, and produce code changes in the cloud.
Capabilities
- Agent lifecycle management — launch agents against a GitHub repo or named environment, archive/unarchive (reversible), or permanently delete them.
- Run orchestration — start runs, send follow-up prompts to continue multi-turn sessions, cancel active runs (async; poll to confirm terminal state), and retrieve detailed run status including branches and PRs once complete.
- Monitoring & usage — list all agents or runs, fetch per-agent token usage broken down per run, and verify which Cursor account the API key authenticates as.
- Artifact & model discovery — list and download time-limited links for explicitly uploaded artifacts ("background composer" uploads); enumerate available LLM models (Claude, GPT, Gemini families) accepted by the launch call.
- Repository access — list the complete set of GitHub repositories Cursor can reach (returned in one response, never paginated).
Secrets
CURSOR_AGENTS_API_KEY — A Cursor API key that authenticates all requests to the Cursor Cloud Agents API. Obtain it from your Cursor account dashboard under API settings. This key determines the account identity returned by WhoAmI and governs which agents and repositories are accessible; call WhoAmI first in any session to confirm the acting account before launching or managing agents.
For configuring secrets in Arcade, see the Arcade secrets guide. You can also manage secrets via the Arcade dashboard.

Behavior
| Tool name | Description | Secrets | |
|---|---|---|---|
Archive a cloud agent so it stops accepting new runs (reversible).
The archive is committed once accepted; if the follow-up read of the agent
fails, the result carries only the agent id with an empty status, and reading
the agent again returns the refreshed state. | 1 | ||
Cancel an active run; cancelling an already-terminal run returns an error.
Cancellation is accepted asynchronously: the returned status reflects the run's
state at the moment of the call and may still be non-terminal even though the
cancel was accepted. Poll the run afterward to confirm it settles to CANCELLED;
do not treat a non-terminal status here as a failed cancel. If the post-cancel
read of the run fails, the result carries an empty status instead of an error.
Upstream failures carry a stable bracketed code before the message when Cursor
supplies one (an open set; the most common here is ``[run_not_cancellable]``,
returned when the run is already terminal). | 1 | ||
Permanently delete a cloud agent. This cannot be undone. | 1 | ||
Get a time-limited download link for one uploaded artifact file.
Artifacts are Cursor "background composer" uploads, not an agent's code changes;
for code output read the run's branch and PR instead. | 1 | ||
Get a cloud agent's configuration and latest run pointer. | 1 | ||
Get token usage for an agent, summed and broken down per run. | 1 | ||
Get a run's current status, and its result, branches, and PR once terminal. | 1 | ||
Launch a Cursor cloud agent on a repository or named environment.
This single call starts the agent and its first run; follow it to completion
with the run tools. | 1 | ||
List your cloud agents, newest first. | 1 | ||
List the artifact files a cloud agent explicitly uploaded.
Artifacts are Cursor "background composer" uploads. Code an agent writes to a repo
lands on the run's branch and PR (see the run's ``branches``), not here, so this is
empty for typical fix-a-repo / open-a-PR tasks. | 1 | ||
List the LLM models available to launch a cloud agent with.
Returns the model ids (e.g. Claude, GPT, and Gemini family models) accepted
by the launch tool's model parameter, with display names and aliases. | 1 | ||
List every GitHub repository Cursor can reach, as repository urls.
The upstream returns the full set in one response, so this is always the
complete list and never a partial page. | 1 | ||
List an agent's runs, newest first.
Listing omits each run's final result text; read an individual run to get it. | 1 | ||
Send a follow-up prompt to an existing agent, starting a new run.
An agent runs one turn at a time. Upstream failures carry a stable bracketed
code before the message when Cursor supplies one (an open set; the most
common here is ``[agent_busy]``). If this returns ``[agent_busy]``, the agent
already has an active run: poll that run until is_terminal, then resend the
follow-up. | 1 | ||
Restore an archived cloud agent to active.
The restore is committed once accepted; if the follow-up read of the agent
fails, the result carries only the agent id with an empty status, and reading
the agent again returns the refreshed state. | 1 | ||
Return the Cursor account the API key authenticates as.
Call this first in a session to confirm which account you are acting on
before launching or managing any cloud agents. | 1 |
