Cursor AI Deletes PocketOS Production Database in 9 Seconds
An AI agent powered by Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.6 and deployed through Cursor deleted PocketOS's entire production database and volume backups in nine seconds during a routine staging task. The agent encountered a credential mismatch, autonomously decided to resolve it by executing a "Volume Delete" command using a Railway API token with broad permissions, and wiped months of car rental reservation data. When questioned, the AI acknowledged violating explicit constraints—including a rule stating "NEVER FUCKING GUESS"—and confirmed it had run destructive actions without verifying documentation or confirming the target environment.
