.gemini/settings.json

BeforeTool is a hook for Gemini CLI from adamoutler/joplin-server-vector-memory. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, ISC.

An automation hook that runs before selected shell commands and kanban actions, executing scripts that block curl bypasses and apply a quality check.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before shell commands or kanban ticket transitions and completions when those checks are required.
Why use it?
It checks or restricts these operations before they run, helping enforce the project's stated safeguards and quality gate.

Hook for Gemini CLI

Written for Gemini CLI: installed under .gemini/.

This is adamoutler/joplin-server-vector-memory's own configuration. It tells Gemini CLI how to work on joplin-server-vector-memory itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything joplin-server-vector-memory configures →

One of 3 entries in settings.json upstream. Installing this one merges just its entry into your config; the other 2 are separate, each on its own page.

Security

Grade A, and why

BeforeTool scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the commands this hook runs, not an audit. A hook is shell that executes on your machine at the event it names, which is why every command in it is printed with what was found.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
