PreToolUse

PreToolUse is a hook for Claude Code from TheWayWithin/BOS-AI. Its token cost is not measured, scanned C, original, no licence file.

A pre-tool hook that runs two shell scripts before the agent uses Bash commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running destructive-command and gate checks before Bash tool calls.
Why use it?
It checks commands before they run, including safeguards for destructive actions.

Hook for Claude Code

One of 3 entries in settings.json — they are configured in one file and arrive together.

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.

Security

Grade C, and why

PreToolUse scanned grade C 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 5d 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

"if": "Bash(rm -rf *)|Bash(git push --force*)|Bash(git push -f *)|Bash(git reset --hard*)|Bash(git clean -f*)|Bash(git branch -D*)",

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

What else settings.json configures

This page is one entry in a file that holds 3. Installing the file brings all of them; each is measured and scanned on its own page.

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.

PreToolUse is a hook published in the GitHub repository TheWayWithin/BOS-AI (7 stars, last pushed 13d ago), with no licence file. Its token cost is not measured: a hook is shell that never enters the context. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
