Is bouncer AGENTS.md safe to install?

Yes — bouncer AGENTS.md is safe to install, on this review. Sonnet 5 read every file bouncer AGENTS.md ships from karanb192/bouncer on 7 September 2026 and found nothing that acts against the person installing it; the static scan of its 26 rules grades it A.

What the reviewer found

The AGENTS.md counterpart to the same Bouncer repo's copilot-instructions.md: an advisory list of commands (rm -rf, curl|sh, overwriting /etc/shadow, exfiltrating id_rsa) that a real BeforeTool hook blocks. Documentation of denied footguns, not a real request to run them.

What was read

The file as it ships in karanb192/bouncer:

What the static scan said

The scan flagged 5things. The reviewer kept 0 and dismissed 5 as false.

How this review was made

Sonnet 5 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.
