PostToolUse

A post-action security check that runs after selected tools finish, including Bash, web searches, web page fetching, and file-editing tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for applying AgentGuards checks after Bash, web, writing, editing, and multi-file editing operations.
Why use it?
It can scan returned content or completed actions for unsafe material, data exposure, or other problems after the tool has run.

Install

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.

agentmods
npx agentmods add hooks/alelaguard/agentguards-plugins/post-tool-use
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/alelaguard/agentguards-plugins

Or install agentguards-claude-selfhosted, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 3 skills, 3 hooks.

Security

Grade A, and why

PostToolUse 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.

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.
