bouncer

A safety hook that blocks known destructive shell commands before they run, including commands that erase files, remove database tables, or force-push code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to guard coding-agent tool calls against destructive Bash commands such as recursive deletion, database destruction, unsafe download-and-run commands, force-pushes, and device wipes.
Why use it?
It adds a last-minute check against commands that could permanently damage project files, data, devices, or version history.

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

bouncer scanned grade C with 2 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 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

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

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.

bouncer is a plugin published in the GitHub repository karanb192/bouncer (5 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. Its token cost is not measured: this kind of file is read by the harness, not the model. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (recursive force delete, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
