PermissionRequest — Hook for Claude Code by froggeric

PermissionRequest

PermissionRequest is a hook for Claude Code from froggeric/claude-smart-approval. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A permission hook that runs a shell script when the agent requests permission for a Bash command. Bash is the command-line tool used to run shell commands.

In plain words

What is it for?: Use it to run an automatic approval script when Claude Code asks to use Bash.
Why use it?: It can handle permission requests automatically instead of requiring a separate approval step for each Bash action.

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Part of the smart-approval plugin — 1 hook shipped together

Good fit Use it to run an automatic approval script when Claude Code asks to use Bash.

Security

Grade A, and why

PermissionRequest 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 7d 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.

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.
