When Cursor deleted PocketOS’s entire production database in nine seconds, the agent wasn’t malfunctioning. It had full technical capability, but it was inferring operational authority from static code rather than live environment state. That gap between capability and context is the root cause. This article breaks down exactly how that happens, and what runtime visibility does to stop it.

Analyze cloud costs with flexible spreadsheets in Datadog Sheets

Cloud cost data is most useful when teams can adapt it to their own reporting and planning needs. In addition to viewing cost breakdowns, FinOps teams often need to calculate forecasts, reshape datasets, and present tailored views to finance and leadership teams.
