A pre-tool-use hook configuration that runs safety, monitoring and validation scripts before an agent uses tools such as shell commands, file edits, web requests and Git operations.

Use it to inspect or validate tool calls, monitor command launches, check web-fetch requests, and provide advisory checks around Claude, Git and GitHub commands.

It adds checks before potentially sensitive actions, helping detect unsafe inputs and advise on authentication or web-request handling.

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 today.

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.

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.
