Is it safe to give Cursor my database credentials?
Updated
Short answer
No — give Cursor a dev-only credential. Production credentials in any AI-coding-tool config = blast radius if the agent runs a destructive operation OR if the .cursor/ config gets committed.
Cursor agent mode + production credentials = SaaStr-Lemkin-Replit / PocketOS-Cursor disaster surface. Both 2026 incidents lost months of data because the agent had prod-DB access.
Always use a separate dev-DB credential. Use Securie's agent-scope crate to enforce compile-time guards. Add `.cursor/` to .gitignore + .npmignore so the credential doesn't ship in npm/git anyway.
