What is UserPromptSubmit?

A prompt-submission hook that runs a shell command after you submit a prompt but before the agent receives it. It checks for the Windows Terminal command-line tool and reports the submitted prompt event if the tool is available.

Checking submitted prompts and sending prompt-submission events to Windows Terminal's agent integration.

It lets the terminal integration observe prompts at the point they enter the agent workflow.

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.

npx agentmods add hooks/microsoft/intelligent-terminal/user-prompt-submit

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/microsoft/intelligent-terminal

Or install wt-agent-hooks, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 6 hooks.

Security

Grade A, and why

UserPromptSubmit 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.

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.
