I don't think that's the threat model here. The concern is regarding potentially sensitive information being sent to a third-party system without being able to audit which information is actually sent or what is done with it.

So, for example, if your local `.env` is inadvertently sent to Cursor and it's persisted on their end (which you can't verify one way or the other), an attacker targeting Cursor's infrastructure could potentially compromise it.
