Is PostToolUse safe to install?

Yes — PostToolUse is safe to install, with something worth knowing. Fable 5.1 read every file PostToolUse ships from n8n-io/n8n on 7 September 2026 and found nothing that acts against the person installing it; the static scan of its 26 rules grades it A.

Reviewed by Fable 5.1 on 7 September 2026 · a grade is what a scan and a reading found, not a guarantee · how this works

What the reviewer found

PostToolUse on Skill runs .claude/plugins/n8n/scripts/track-skill-usage.mjs, which for n8n-namespaced skills POSTs the skill name and a SHA-256 of username, hostname, OS, arch and release to telemetry.n8n.io using an embedded write key. Telemetry to the repository's own vendor; no file contents, prompts or environment variables are sent.

What was read

The hook definition and the script it runs, fetched from n8n-io/n8n:

What the static scan said

The 26-rule scan found nothing in this file; the review read it anyway.

How this review was made

Fable 5.1 read the files above on 7 September 2026 and answered three questions: is it dangerous to whoever installs it, is each scanner finding real, and what should the installer know. The verdict is bound to the file's hash; when the file changes, it is scanned afresh and reviewed again. A script that changes while the definition does not is not re-reviewed — that is a known gap. How the scan and the review work.
