Auto-review is a new run mode that allows Cursor to work for longer with fewer approval prompts and safer execution.
Auto-review applies to Shell, MCP, and Fetch tool calls. Allowlisted calls run immediately, and calls that can be sandboxed run in the sandbox. All other agent actions go to a classifier subagent that decides whether to allow the call, try a different approach, or ask for your approval.
Configure your run mode in **Settings > Cursor Settings > Agents > Run Mode**. You can also steer the classifier agent by giving it custom instructions.
