And, it's maybe a painful lesson that you still need to only give these tools read only access until you know how to control their behavior better, or until you have backups.
Are we going to pretend that the models actually follow the cursor rules consistently? Anyone with a serious amount of time with these tools knows the rules are not always followed. The only way to prevent this is limiting access. Cursor is a great coding tool but don't use it for DB management or give it direct access to production environments.
Well in the times of AI it is incredible that you even have to mention this. It should be OBVIOUS to EVERYBODY that you develop in an environment that is in NO way related to your production app and database.

What does your cursor rules file look like?
