Summary

Cursor added plugins that let its agents read, write, and act in Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Docs, and Sheets. The creator's response is to give Cursor its own new Gmail account rather than his personal one. That is a simple way to limit what the agent can reach.

Key points

• New Cursor plugins give agents direct access to Gmail, Google Drive, Calendar, Docs, and Sheets.
• Agents can read, write, and take actions across Google Workspace.
• Safety tip: give the agent a dedicated account so it can't reach your personal data.
