options

options is a cursor rule for Cursor from getsentry/sentry-java. It costs 5 tokens per session (1,442 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for adding or changing configuration options in the Java SDK. It explains how new settings should be structured and why new features normally start disabled until users opt in.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding settings, callbacks, sampling controls, or feature switches to SentryOptions and related SDK APIs.
Why use it?
It keeps SDK configuration consistent and avoids unexpectedly changing application behavior when a new feature is introduced.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

options scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Adding Options to the SDK

New features must be opt-in by default. Options control whether a feature is enabled and how it behaves.

Namespaced Options

Newer features use namespaced option classes nested inside SentryOptions, e.g.:

  • SentryOptions.getLogs()SentryOptions.Logs
  • SentryOptions.getMetrics()SentryOptions.Metrics

Each namespaced options class is a public static final class inside SentryOptions with its own fields, getters/setters, and callbacks (e.g. BeforeSendLogCallback, BeforeSendMetricCallback).

A typical namespaced options class contains:

  • enabled boolean (default false for opt-in)
  • sampleRate double (if the feature supports sampling)
  • beforeSend callback interface (nested inside the options class)

To add a new namespaced options class:

  1. Create the public static final class inside SentryOptions with fields, getters/setters, and any callback interfaces
  2. Add a private field on SentryOptions initialized with new SentryOptions.MyFeature()
  3. Add getter/setter on SentryOptions annotated with @ApiStatus.Experimental

Direct (Non-Namespaced) Options

Options that apply globally across the SDK (e.g. dsn, environment, release, sampleRate, maxBreadcrumbs) live as direct fields on SentryOptions with getter/setter pairs. Use this pattern for options that aren't tied to a specific feature namespace.

Configuration Layers

Options can be set through multiple layers. When adding a new option, consider which layers apply:

1. SentryOptions (always required)

The core options class. Add the field (or nested class) with getter/setter here.

File: sentry/src/main/java/io/sentry/SentryOptions.java

Tests: sentry/src/test/java/io/sentry/SentryOptionsTest.kt

  • Test the default value
  • Test merge behavior (see layer 2)

2. ExternalOptions (sentry.properties / environment variables)

Allows setting options via sentry.properties file or system properties. Fields use nullable wrapper types (@Nullable Boolean, @Nullable Double) since unset means "don't override the default."

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

options is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository getsentry/sentry-java (1,349 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 5 tokens to every session and 1,442 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
