`Cursor` adds context usage breakdown for agents

You can now inspect where an agent's context window is being spent instead of treating token use as a black box. Useful for trimming bloated prompts and debugging why long runs get expensive or lose focus; worth using if you lean on Cursor agents.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. The update exposes a breakdown of agent context usage, not just a single opaque total.
  2. Better visibility helps pinpoint prompt bloat, attached files, or history that eats the context window early.
  3. When an agent derails on long tasks, this gives a direct place to check whether context pressure is the real cause.
