Is PreToolUse safe to install?

Yes — PreToolUse is safe to install, on this review. Fable 5.1 read every file PreToolUse ships from fallow-rs/fallow on 7 September 2026 and found nothing that acts against the person installing it; the static scan of its 26 rules grades it A.

Reviewed by Fable 5.1 on 7 September 2026 · a grade is what a scan and a reading found, not a guarantee · how this works

What the reviewer found

PreToolUse on Bash runs .claude/hooks/pre-bash-guard.py, which denies foreign fallow binaries, unbounded cargo --workspace output and commits missing the VS Code dist bundle, then an inline step that runs rustfmt and typos on staged files before git commit. Deny guard plus local formatters.

What was read

The hook definition and the script it runs, fetched from fallow-rs/fallow:

What the static scan said

The 26-rule scan found nothing in this file; the review read it anyway.

How this review was made

Fable 5.1 read the files above on 7 September 2026 and answered three questions: is it dangerous to whoever installs it, is each scanner finding real, and what should the installer know. The verdict is bound to the file's hash; when the file changes, it is scanned afresh and reviewed again. A script that changes while the definition does not is not re-reviewed — that is a known gap. How the scan and the review work.
