PreToolUse

PreToolUse is a hook for Claude Code from sserkanml/ceph-cookbook. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, GPL-3.0.

A pre-action safety check for Bash commands that runs a shell script before the coding agent uses the tool.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for guarding Bash tool calls with the checks defined in guard-dangerous-commands.sh.
Why use it?
It helps inspect commands before they run, reducing the chance of dangerous shell actions being carried out accidentally.

Security

Grade A, and why

PreToolUse 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 6d 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.
