What the evidence says

  1. Documented by company source

    Cursor says each Cloud Agent runs in its own isolated virtual machine with the repository, plans and edits code, runs commands and tests, then pushes a branch and opens a draft pull request. Cloud Agents can be started from the editor, the web, Slack, GitHub and Linear.
