PreToolUse

PreToolUse is a hook for Claude Code from flic/node-red-contrib-mcp-server. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, a copy of PostToolUse, ISC.

A pre-action hook that runs a shell check before the agent starts a Task tool call. If the `entire` command is installed, it passes the task to `entire` for processing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to connect Task calls to `entire`'s pre-task hook.
Why use it?
It lets you apply an automatic check before delegated tasks begin, without running anything if `entire` is unavailable.

Hook for Claude Code

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

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.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

81% identical to PostToolUse — 15 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 else settings.json configures

This page is one entry in a file that holds 7. Installing the file brings all of them; each is measured and scanned on its own page.

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.
