PreToolUse

A pre-tool hook that watches for Bash searches using commands such as rg, grep, find, or fd. When a local knowledge graph exists, it tells the agent to query that graph for focused questions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in an agent environment with graphify output to redirect focused file-search questions to graphify query and reserve the broad report for wider architecture context.
Why use it?
It helps the agent use a prepared knowledge graph instead of searching raw files when that graph is available. The input does not describe any behavior when the graph is missing beyond doing nothing.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Security

Grade A, and why

PreToolUse scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 2d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to PreToolUse — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

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.
