⚠️ DESTRUCTIVE: Move or copy chat sessions between workspaces. When moving (not copying), the original session is deleted. Consider creating a backup first using cursor_history_backup.

cursor-history-mcp Write Risk 3/5

AI agents use cursor_history_migrate to create or modify resources in Cursor History. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call cursor_history_migrate repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Cursor History.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the cursor_history_migrate tool do? +

⚠️ DESTRUCTIVE: Move or copy chat sessions between workspaces. When moving (not copying), the original session is deleted. Consider creating a backup first using cursor_history_backup.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Cursor History MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on cursor_history_migrate? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for cursor_history_migrate. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Cursor History MCP server.

What risk level is cursor_history_migrate? +

cursor_history_migrate is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit cursor_history_migrate? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the cursor_history_migrate rule in your Intercept policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block cursor_history_migrate completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for cursor_history_migrate. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides cursor_history_migrate? +

cursor_history_migrate is provided by the Cursor History MCP server (cursor-history-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
