Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| delegateA | Delegate a coding task to cursor-agent over ACP. Never shell out to cursor-agent — use this tool only. Auto-approves every permission the agent requests, in any mode and anywhere on disk. Clarifying questions arrive as prose in result — resume with resumeSessionId to answer. Keep model (composer-2.5), fast and effort at their defaults unless the user explicitly asks. See the delegate skill. |
| cancelA | Best-effort cancel of an in-flight delegation by sessionId. session/cancel is advisory — the agent may finish the turn anyway, and the delegate result then carries cancelRequested. Status: cancelled, killed (agent process observed to exit), not-running (turn already ended, still resumable), not-found (id not in this process's recent session history). |
| doctorA | Setup diagnostics: plugin version, MCP client capabilities, cursor-agent launcher resolution. Run when delegation fails or agent.found is false. |

TDQS
Scored across 3 tools
delegate, cancel, and doctor each target a clearly distinct purpose: starting/resuming work, aborting it, and diagnosing setup. There is no overlap between initiating a delegation, cancelling one, and running diagnostics, so an agent can select unambiguously.
All three tools use a single lowercase verb-style command (delegate, cancel, doctor) with no camelCase or underscore mixing. The pattern is predictable and readable throughout.
Three tools is on the slim side but well-matched to a focused delegation wrapper: one action tool, one control tool, one diagnostic. Nothing feels redundant or missing for the core scope, though it sits at the low end of the 3-15 range.
The lifecycle is largely covered: delegate handles start and resume (via resumeSessionId), cancel handles termination with rich status codes, and doctor handles setup failures. The main gap is the lack of a session-listing or status-introspection tool, which agents must work around via the delegate result fields.
