Routes questions about the Cursor Origin API to the right section of the Origin docs and names the few rules to check first. Use when a task mentions Origin, the Origin API, Origin Apps, or Origin webhooks, including creating an Origin App, authenticating as one, calling Origin endpoints, or handling Origin webhook deliveries. The docs are the source of truth. Do not name an endpoint, scope, event slug, header, or limit from memory. Where this file and the docs disagree, the docs win.
