Can I search for specific CVE exposure across my whole cloud environment?

Yes. Use the `search_cve_exposure` tool and provide the official CVE ID (e.g. CVE-2023-1234). Your agent will filter the entire cloud footprint to determine exactly which specific nodes or machines are currently vulnerable.

How do I investigate the behavioral telemetry of a specific security alert?

The `get_alert` tool extracts precisely what baseline behavior was deviated from for a specific Alert ID. Your agent will return detailed contextual metadata, including offending container SHAs and correlated IP anomalies.

Can my agent run custom threat hunting queries using LQL?

Absolutely. Use the `execute_query` tool to run specialized Lacework Query Language (LQL) blocks. This allows your agent to perform complex mathematical analysis on cloud telemetry to identify deep security patterns.

Lacework (Cloud Security & CNAPP) + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Lacework (Cloud Security & CNAPP) MCP Server with Cursor.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
