Prep for Cursor Marketplace resubmission.

  • Removes the root plugin.json symlink. Indexers that don't follow symlinks see a 26-byte text path, not JSON. The manifests are .cursor-plugin/plugin.json and .claude-plugin/plugin.json.
  • Removes the Cursor sessionStart hook that ran scripts/session-context.sh. The same primer now ships as rules/synter-operator.mdc (alwaysApply: true). The Claude hook in hooks/hooks.json is unchanged.
  • Uses the relative logo path assets/logo.png in the Cursor plugin and marketplace manifests.
  • Adds SECURITY.md (reporting, OAuth scopes, approval-gated spend, policy links).

Follow-up PR (after the mcp.synterai.com OAuth fix is on prod): switch mcp.json to OAuth-only at https://mcp.synterai.com and drop the SYNTER_API_KEY variable plus its validator check.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added always-applied guidance for ad-platform tasks, including approval before changes that can affect campaigns or budgets and confirmation of the selected account.
    • Clarified that leaving the API key blank enables the quickstart and GA4 tools.
  • Documentation

    • Added security information covering vulnerability reporting, authentication, approval requirements, account access, and links to Synter’s policies.

- Remove root plugin.json symlink (read as a 26-byte text path by non-symlink-aware indexers)
- Drop Cursor sessionStart shell hook; move the operator primer into rules/synter-operator.mdc (alwaysApply)
- Logo referenced by relative path
- Add SECURITY.md

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The plugin metadata now uses a package-relative logo and registers a rules directory. The changes add operator rules and security documentation, and remove the Cursor session-start hook configuration and a plugin metadata file.

Changes

Plugin configuration and operator guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Plugin metadata and configuration
.cursor-plugin/marketplace.json, .cursor-plugin/plugin.json, hooks/cursor-hooks.json, plugin.json
Plugin metadata points to assets/logo.png, registers the rules directory, and updates the API-key description. The Cursor session-start hook configuration and .claude-plugin/plugin.json are removed.
Operator rules and security guidance
rules/synter-operator.mdc, SECURITY.md
Operator rules specify approval requirements, account confirmation, status verification, language restrictions, and help commands. Security documentation covers vulnerability reporting, plugin contents and authentication, spending rules, connected-account limits, and data-handling references.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Other

Suggested reviewers: ampagent

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d3e06

Cursor users may be misled about which credential to configure because the security guidance describes OAuth while the shipped setup uses an API-key header. Correct the documentation; the remaining risk is bounded to setup guidance.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to d3e06

The replacement preserves the documented approval and account checks, and no enforced authorization gate was found in the removed hook. No introduced or worsened security issue was established. However, actual application of the replacement rules and enforcement by the hosted service remain unverified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The sensitive outcomes include campaign activation and spending across platforms through the hosted service. Effective exposure depends on the accounts and privileges reachable by the presented credentials; the maximum credential reach and enforced tenant isolation are not established by this repository evidence.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • inferred — The assistant receives approval and account-selection instructions, while campaign operations cross into the remote MCP service. Neither the old static primer nor the new rule demonstrates approval-bound authorization at that boundary. No new credential authority or removed enforced control was established by the comparison.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The launch instructions distinguish creation from live spending and require per-platform confirmation. They do not specify durable approval binding, idempotency, concurrent execution, interruption handling or partial-failure recovery. Those documentation limitations predate this PR; corresponding backend guarantees remain unverified.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Validate that the replacement rule is loaded before relevant tool calls, and separately substantiate the hosted approval and account-ownership guarantees. Treat successful guidance delivery as distinct from proof of authorization enforcement.

Comment thread SECURITY.md
## What this plugin does

- It contains Markdown skills, agents, and rules, plus one remote MCP server entry. It ships no executable hooks for Cursor.
- The MCP server is Synter's hosted server over HTTPS. Cursor authenticates with browser OAuth (scopes `tools:read` and `tools:write`). An API key is an optional fallback for headless use and is never stored in this repo.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Document the current Cursor authentication path.

The current configuration sends SYNTER_API_KEY as X-Synter-Key, and the manifest says this key is used for connected ad accounts. This paragraph instead says Cursor uses browser OAuth and limits the key to headless use. The PR defers the OAuth-only configuration until after the production OAuth fix. This gives Cursor users the wrong credential setup. Document the current API-key path here, then update it when the OAuth-only configuration ships. (github.com)
