PreToolUse

PreToolUse is a hook for coding agents from CrowdStrike/foundry-skills. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

Pre-tool commands that run automatically before the agent uses Bash or loads a skill. They invoke scripts for Falcon Foundry skill routing, command checks, and a bridge to related tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running checks before Bash commands and skill calls in a CrowdStrike Falcon Foundry development setup.
Why use it?
They can check or route tool use before an action runs, helping apply the repository's Foundry-specific safeguards and procedures.

Hook

Part of the crowdstrike-falcon-foundry plugin — 11 skills, 3 hooks shipped together

One of 3 entries in hooks.json — they are configured in one file and arrive together.

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/crowdstrike/foundry-skills/pre-tool-use
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/CrowdStrike/foundry-skills

Or install crowdstrike-falcon-foundry, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 11 skills, 3 hooks.

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 3d 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.
