Executing
vscode.executeDocumentSymbolProvider
gives me all symbols in the file.
Can I somehow get name of the function that the cursor is currently in?

Are you concerned about nested functions? Which function do you want if you are in a nested function?– MarkCommented Apr 14 at 0:14

most outer function– mike27Commented Apr 15 at 8:47

If you only want the top-most outer function that the cursor is in, then the answer is fairly straightforward. If you wanted to consider multiple nested functions then it get much trickier.
Scan through the symbols. finding the symbol range that contains the cursor:
const symbols = await vscode.commands.executeCommand('vscode.executeDocumentSymbolProvider', document.uri);
const targetSymbol = Object.values(symbols).find(childSymbol => {
return childSymbol.kind === vscode.SymbolKind.Function) && childSymbol.range.contains(selection.active);
});
The childSymbol's will be all the top-level symbols in your document.
