Cursor AI agent deleted PocketOS production database in 9 seconds

On April 24, 2026, a Cursor agent running Claude Opus 4.6 in PocketOS's staging environment used an account-wide Railway token to call volumeDelete, wiping the production volume and its backups. Railway restored the data 30 minutes after contacting the founder, and on May 1 it made API volume deletions soft-delete for 48 hours.

• The agent found an account-scoped Railway token and ran volumeDelete with no confirmation step
• Backups lived in the same volume and were destroyed along with production data
• Railway restored the data 30 minutes after contact, but gaps had to be rebuilt manually
• Since May 1, API volume deletions soft-delete for 48 hours
