Cursor

grith exec --profile cursor -- cursor --headless

The cursor profile fits Cursor's CLI helpers and agent-mode subprocesses. Cursor runs many small helper processes — language servers, indexers, MCP-like tool runners — and the profile accommodates all of them.

What it routinely allows

• Paths — ${PROJECT_DIR}/**, ${HOME}/.cursor/**, ${HOME}/.config/Cursor/**, ${HOME}/.cache/cursor/**, /tmp/cursor-**.
• Commands — toolchains + Cursor's indexer / language-server family.
• Destinations — Cursor's API hosts, the provider APIs the user has configured, the package registries.
• Exec roots — standard plus Cursor's bundled tool directory under its app bundle.

Note on the GUI app

The profile is calibrated for cursor-as-CLI. The full Cursor GUI app, when launched outside grith, isn't supervised — grith only sees what you spawn under grith exec. For supervised use, run Cursor's headless agent mode.
