Conversation
…ll bridge exists When the Cursor adapter denies a server-driven native read/ls/grep/write/delete/ shell/fetch exec, the refusal text is a fixed string that redirects the model to `shell_command` / `exec_command`. That is right for a Codex-style catalog, but a delegation-only client (an orchestrator exposing nothing but its own Responses tools, e.g. a single `task` tool) has neither alias in its catalog. kimi-k3 takes the refusal literally, looks for the named bridge, and ends the turn with "those tools are not in my list" instead of calling `ocx_client_task`, which is listed. Add `cursorNativeExecRedirectHint`: when the request's visible catalog carries no shell alias and no execution-path tool, build a silent-redirect message that names the request's actual wire names (`ocx_client_*`, with the `mcp_opencodex-responses_` display form). The live transport sets it on the per-request exec context as `nativeExecRedirectHint`, and `handleCursorNativeExec` passes it to every policy-denial helper, which fall back to today's wording when it is undefined. Catalogs with `exec_command` / `shell_command` / unified `exec` are unchanged. Measured on 2.53.0 with the same single-tool request repeated: cursor/kimi-k3 called the delegation tool in 2/6 turns before and 6/6 after; the same model via another provider delegated 2/2 throughout, so the wording, not the model, was the difference. Through the orchestrator TUI: 0/6 before, 3/3 after.

Review follow-up for lidge-jun#4544. - The hint no longer claims the request has "no read/grep/ls/write/fetch tool" or that the Responses entries are the only callable tools. It lists the catalog and tells the model to pick the listed tool that fits — a listed file/search/fetch tool if there is one, otherwise the delegating tool — so a direct non-shell tool such as an MCP read_file is never contradicted. - Configured MCP server tools advertised through prepareMcp are listed too, by their harness display form (mcp_<provider>_<name>); the live transport passes execContext.mcpToolDefs alongside the visible client catalog. - structure/providers/cursor.md names the namespaced wire-name form and the opencodex-responses display prefix next to ocx_client_*. - Drop a personal patch note from the JSDoc.

…t tools Review follow-up for lidge-jun#4544 (CodeRabbit): a request with no client tools but configured MCP tools on execContext.mcpToolDefs returned before building the hint, so the denial fell back to the shell_command / exec_command wording although those aliases were not visible either. Build the name list from both sources and keep the default wording only when nothing is advertised at all.

Superseded by c66709f, which carries this work onto Your change is in that commit with a The carried version keeps your point exactly: the refusal should name the catalog the request actually has. It builds the hint from the real wire tool names — client tools, their namespaced forms, and configured MCP tools, capped at 16 — and only when the catalog has neither a shell alias nor an execution path, so a bridged catalog that really does expose a shell tool still produces byte-identical output. It was carried rather than merged directly because the same lane also fixed the data-policy surfacing in the same files. Issue #4542 is closed against that merge. Thank you. |
Summary
Fixes #4542.
When the Cursor adapter denies a server-driven native
read/ls/grep/write/delete/shell/fetchexec frame (nativeLocalExecunset oroff), the refusal text is a fixed string that redirects the model toshell_command/exec_command(native-exec-fs.tsNATIVE_LOCAL_EXEC_DISABLED,native-exec-shell.tsnativeShellDisabledMessage(),native-exec-network.tsNATIVE_FETCH_DISABLED).That wording is right for a Codex-style catalog. It is wrong for a delegation-only client — an orchestrator that exposes nothing but its own Responses tools (for example a single
tasktool) — because neither alias exists in that catalog.cursor/kimi-k3takes the refusal literally: it looks forshell_command, does not find it, and ends the turn with "the tools I was told to use are not in my tool list" instead of callingocx_client_task, which is listed. The adapter already gates the shell-alias system note oncursorRequestHasShellAlias; the exec-channel refusal was not gated the same way.Change
src/adapters/cursor/native-exec.ts: newcursorNativeExecRedirectHint(tools, mcpToolDefs). Returnsundefinedwhen the visible catalog has a shell alias or an execution-path tool (exec_command/shell_command/ unifiedexec), so those catalogs keep today's wording byte-for-byte. Otherwise it returns a silent-redirect message that names the catalog's real wire names (bare client tools asocx_client_*, namespaced tools in theirnamespacedToolNameform, both displayed by the harness asmcp_opencodex-responses_<name>, plus configured MCP server tools advertised throughprepareMcpasmcp_<provider>_<name>), capped at 16 names. The text is neutral about what those tools can do: it tells the model to pick the listed tool that fits — a listed file/search/fetch tool if there is one, otherwise the delegating tool — and never claims the request has no read or fetch tool.CursorNativeExecContextgainsnativeExecRedirectHint?: string;handleCursorNativeExecpasses it to every policy-denial helper.native-exec-fs.ts,native-exec-shell.ts,native-exec-network.ts: thereject*ExecForPolicyhelpers andnativeShellDisabledMessagetake an optionalhintand fall back to the existing strings when it is undefined.
