Limits of this answer: Customer-managed tool execution does not mean offline inference.
The machine where the agent edits your files and runs builds and tests.
Why this source is relevant: Team Pools move tools to the customer worker while Cursor supplies the agent loop. Artifact transfer and plan prerequisites are separate.

Where model requests go Cursor · Cloud Agents · Team Pools
Cursor cloud runs inference, planning and the agent loop. The worker sends tool results and needed content to Cursor.
Limits of this answer: Exact model, provider and inference region are unspecified; needed content leaves the worker.
Model hosting is separate from where commands run. A local tool can still use a remote AI model.
“LLM” means language model. “Inference” means that model generating a response. “Orchestration” means coordinating the agent’s next steps. The machine editing your files and the service answering model requests can be in different places.
Why this source is relevant: Team Pools move tools to the customer worker while Cursor supplies the agent loop. Artifact transfer and plan prerequisites are separate.
