What the reviewer found
Setup guide for the Talon channels server, which forwards all Claude Code hook events to WebSocket clients on localhost:21568 and lets those clients answer permission requests; it reads and edits only its own plugin's .mcp.json, where bot tokens for Telegram/Discord/Slack go. The curl | python3 line parses a JSON token response from localhost rather than executing anything.

How this review was made
Fable 5.1 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.
