The apps are Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Calendar, and none of them arrived with an injection safeguard.
Why now: Cursor listed the plugins in its August 4 changelog, covered alongside GitHub's own widening of who can trigger a cloud agent from a comment.
Cursor shipped five Google Workspace plugins that give its coding agent read and write access to Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Calendar, per its August 4 changelog.
That's a wide surface for prompt injection. Anyone who can email you can reach an agent that also writes to your Drive and calendar.
Install comes from the Customize page or the Marketplace. Once added, the agent can search and draft email, manage labels and threads, read and write docs, edit spreadsheet cells, and create calendar events.
The changelog documents what the plugins can do. It says nothing about limiting what an email or a shared doc can tell the agent to do once it's connected.
Cursor's plugins land next to a similar move at GitHub, where any commenter with write access can trigger a cloud agent. The trigger and the context for coding agents are both moving out of the editor faster than the security model is following.

Anthropic launched 13 new MCP connectors for Cowork covering Google Workspace (Drive, Calendar, Gmail), DocuSign, Apollo, Clay, Outreach, SimilarWeb, MSCI, LegalZoom, FactSet, WordPress, and Harvey. Enterprise admins get private plugin marketplaces from private GitHub repos. C...
Cursor launched the most significant release since 2.0: Cloud Agents with Computer Use. Autonomous coding agents now run in isolated VMs that build software, visually test it, record video demos, capture screenshots and logs, and ship merge-ready PRs. Over 30% of Cursor's own...
A CLI proxy that compresses terminal output before it hits your agent's context window. That's it. That's the whole product. And it's at 39,000 GitHub stars because it solves a problem every single person using Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or Aider hits daily: your context fill...
Eight thousand stars in a single day. That's what happened when Warp open-sourced its Rust-based, GPU-accelerated terminal on April 28. The repo shot to 47.9K total stars, making it the highest-velocity project on GitHub this week by a wide margin. But the interesting part isn...
Anysphere shipped Cursor 3 (codenamed "Glass") on April 2, and it's not really an IDE anymore. It's an agent workspace. The redesign is fundamental. Developers enter natural language task descriptions, select an LLM, and Cursor generates code plus a demo video. Local and cloud...
RTK (Rust Token Killer) is a single Rust binary that sits between your terminal commands and your AI coding agent. When Claude Code or Cursor calls git status or ls -la, RTK intercepts the output and compresses it before it hits the context window. That's it. One trick. And it...
