Get quality data in Cursor

Call `get_repository_code_quality` while you write code to see the current state of your codebase. The agent reads these metrics to inform its next refactoring move. Cursor can then suggest changes that actually improve your grade. It keeps your code aligned with team standards.

Fix issues using Cursor tools

Use `list_snapshot_code_issues` to pull a list of active bugs or style violations from the latest snapshot. The agent can ingest this list to write targeted fixes for specific files. This workflow turns your editor into a diagnostic tool. You address problems based on real analysis rather than gut feeling.

Track coverage metrics in Cursor

Query your test reports with `list_repository_test_reports` to identify gaps in your coverage. This ensures your commits stay compliant with your team's requirements. It brings the testing reality directly to your cursor. You stop pushing code that lacks adequate verification.
