.claude/settings.json

PostToolUseFailure is a hook for Claude Code from jdx/fnox. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A post-tool failure hook that runs a shell command after a Bash tool call fails. A hook is an automatic action triggered by an event.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to invoke the configured jouet failure handler after unsuccessful Bash calls, when jouet is installed.
Why use it?
It provides a place to react to failed shell commands without requiring a separate manual step.

Hook for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is jdx/fnox's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on fnox itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything fnox configures →

One of 10 entries in settings.json upstream. Installing this one merges just its entry into your config; the other 9 are separate, each on its own page.

About the project

fnox is a secret manager that stores credentials either encrypted in a Git repository or in supported cloud and password-management services. Developers use it to provide secrets to commands and shell sessions across development, continuous integration, and production. The catalogue includes instructions for using fnox.

Security

Grade A, and why

PostToolUseFailure 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.
