BeforeTool

A set of automatic checks that run before a coding agent executes shell commands. Shell commands are instructions such as installing packages, running tests, building code, or starting a development server.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to guard package-manager commands, builds, tests, Docker commands, Git operations, and development-server launches.
Why use it?
It helps prevent commands from bypassing project checks, starting development servers in unsuitable ways, or using risky command options.

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.

Grade A, and why

BeforeTool 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 yesterday.

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.

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.
