PostToolUse

PostToolUse is a hook for coding agents from evo-hq/evo. Its token cost is not measured, scanned C, original, Apache-2.0.

A post-tool hook that runs commands after Bash tool calls finish. It is an automatic action attached to completed tool use.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for the configured after-Bash command; the supplied description does not identify a broader user-facing task or its exact result.
Why use it?
It can perform a follow-up action after shell commands without requiring a separate manual step.

Hook

Part of the evo plugin — 7 skills, 2 commands, 3 agents, 6 hooks shipped together

One of 6 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/evo-hq/evo/post-tool-use
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/evo-hq/evo

Or install evo, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 7 skills, 2 commands, 3 agents, 6 hooks.

Security

Grade C, and why

PostToolUse scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 4d 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.

Encoded or obfuscated payloadhighSupply chain

base64 or hex that is decoded and executed hides what actually runs from anyone reading the file.

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.

PostToolUse is a hook published in the GitHub repository evo-hq/evo (1,440 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. Its token cost is not measured: a hook is shell that never enters the context. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (encoded or obfuscated payload). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
