Cursor 3.3 Release: PR Review, Build in Parallel (async subagents), and new Enterprise admin controls
Cursor 3.3 adds an all-in-one PR review experience, a Build in Parallel mode that runs async subagents, and several enterprise admin upgrades (model access controls, spend limits/alerts, usage analytics, marketplace policies, and security review beta).
Editorial Team
The AI Coding Tools Directory editorial team researches and reviews AI-powered development tools to help developers find the best solutions for their workflows.
Cursor shipped a large 3.3 update with three themes: a new PR review experience, faster execution via async subagents, and expanded enterprise admin controls.

TL;DR
- PR review in Cursor: take PRs from creation to merge in one place, with dedicated Reviews / Commits / Changes views.
- Build in Parallel: Cursor can split a plan into independent tasks and run them simultaneously using async subagents.
- Enterprise updates: more granular model access controls, soft spend limits + alerts, richer usage analytics, new team marketplace policies, and Cursor Security Review (beta).
New PR review experience
Cursor 3.3 introduces a PR review workflow that centralizes:
- inline review threads and top-level PR comments (Reviews tab)
- commit history context (Commits tab)
- large-diff navigation with file tree + change picker (Changes tab)
If you do most work in Cursor already, this reduces the context switching between IDE + Git hosting UI.
Build in Parallel: async subagents for faster plan execution
Cursor 3.3 adds a Build in Parallel option that:
- identifies independent parts of your plan
- runs them concurrently using async subagents
- keeps dependent steps ordered when needed
There’s also a quick action to split multitask changes into separate PRs, which is useful when parallel work produces logically separable patches.
Enterprise admin updates (model controls, spend, analytics)
Cursor’s changelog highlights multiple admin-focused updates:
Model access controls
Admins can now create more granular allow/block lists at the provider and model configuration level (for example: block an entire provider, or only specific model variants). Cursor also notes that existing blocklists require migration to the new system by June 1.
Soft spend limits + alerts
Admins can set soft limits (instead of hard cutoffs) and Cursor will send usage alerts at 50% / 80% / 100% of configured limits.
Updated usage analytics
Usage analytics now supports filtering by user and breaking down by product surface, including clients, Cloud Agents, automations, Bugbot, and Security Review.
Team marketplace policies
Admins can define how plugins (which can bundle MCP servers, skills, subagents, rules, and hooks) are distributed:
- Default Off
- Default On
- Required
Cursor Security Review (beta)
Cursor also announced Cursor Security Review (beta) for Teams and Enterprise plans, including always-on agents like a Security Reviewer and a Vulnerability Scanner.
