PostToolUseFailure

PostToolUseFailure is a hook for Claude Code from Cyvid7-Darus10/claude-code-config. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, a copy of PostToolUseFailure, MIT.

An automatic action that runs after a coding tool fails. It records the failed tool call, checks the health of the connected service, and may try to reconnect it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in agent setups that call external tools or services. It handles follow-up checks after failed tool operations.
Why use it?
It helps detect when a failed tool call is caused by an unhealthy service instead of the task itself. This gives the agent a way to respond to connection problems.

Hook for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable.

Runs only inside a plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it.

One of 7 entries in hooks.json — they are configured in one file and arrive together.

Install

Getting it into your agent

There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

Made for: Claude Code.

Security

Grade A, and why

PostToolUseFailure 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 5d 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.

This is a copy

98% identical to PostToolUseFailure — 3 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.
