Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00000 | $0.12482 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.06241 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.02496 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.01248 |
Grade A, and why
with-cursor-insight scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 3d ago.
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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Cursor Insight: Use Advanced Tools & Capabilities
SUBTASK: Use this guide to help solve or answer the current query, user message, or task.
Overview
This rule provides a comprehensive guide to Cursor's advanced features, APIs, tools, and programmatic capabilities for solving complex problems. Use it to leverage Cursor's full potential when standard approaches are insufficient.
When to Use
- When you need to deeply understand code structure beyond simple searches
- When working with complex, interconnected codebases
- When you need specialized analysis tools for performance optimization
- When standard IDE features aren't powerful enough for your task
- When you need to leverage Cursor's AI capabilities for specialized tasks
How to Use
- Accuracy Awareness: This document contains both verified (✅) and theoretical (❌) capabilities. Verified features have been directly observed and tested, while theoretical ones represent potential capabilities that may not be implemented exactly as described.
- Start with Confirmed Tools: Begin by using the confirmed tools marked with ✅ in the reference tables. These provide a reliable foundation before exploring more experimental features.
- Progressive Experimentation: Test theoretical capabilities in non-critical contexts first. Start small, verify behavior, then scale to more complex use cases.
- Combine Standard + Advanced: Most effective solutions combine standard Cursor functionality with these advanced techniques. Don't overlook built-in features in favor of complex approaches.
- Adapt Example Code: Code samples are conceptual starting points that likely need adaptation for your specific environment and requirements.
- Error Isolation: When errors occur, isolate whether they stem from Cursor limitations, environment issues, or implementation mistakes by testing minimal reproducible examples.
- Verify API Changes: The Cursor API may evolve. Before building critical infrastructure, verify endpoint availability and behavior with simple tests.
- Documentation Cross-Reference: Cross-reference this guide with official Cursor documentation for the most authoritative and up-to-date information.
- Security Considerations: Be cautious with programmatic capabilities that access sensitive data or execute code. Validate inputs and limit permissions appropriately.
- Contribution: Consider contributing working examples or corrections back to this guide to improve its accuracy and usefulness.
What this file has done since we first saw it
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.

with-cursor-insight is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository zackiles/cursor-config (17 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 12,482 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
