PostToolUseFailure

PostToolUseFailure is a hook for Claude Code from tellang/triflux. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, a copy of SessionStart, MIT.

An automatic action that runs when any tool call fails. It starts the Triflux hook orchestrator with Node.js.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to trigger Triflux's failure-handling workflow after unsuccessful tool calls.
Why use it?
It gives failed tool calls a central follow-up handler instead of requiring separate recovery logic for every tool.

Hook for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Part of the triflux plugin — 29 skills, 1 agent, 12 hooks shipped together

One of 12 entries in hooks.json upstream. Installing this one merges just its entry into your config; the other 11 are separate, each on its own page.

Good fit Use it to trigger Triflux's failure-handling workflow after unsuccessful tool calls.

Security

Grade A, and why

PostToolUseFailure scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

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.
