| description | Inventory hooks across the user, project, and project-local settings plus the ~/.claude/hooks scripts directory — read through the Agent Monitor Config Explorer API — and flag hooks that POST to the network or run arbitrary commands. Reads /api/cc-config/hooks and /api/cc-config/hook-scripts. Use when auditing hook safety.

Hook Inventory
Catalogue every Claude Code hook the user has configured and assess its safety —
read through the Agent Monitor dashboard at http://localhost:4820.
Input
The user provides: $ARGUMENTS
This may be:
- empty — inventory all hooks across every scope (default).
- an event name (
PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, SubagentStop,
SessionStart, SessionEnd, UserPromptSubmit, Notification,
PreCompact) — restrict to that event.
- "scripts" — focus on the
~/.claude/hooks handler scripts dir.
Data Sources
| Endpoint | Returns |
|---|
GET /api/cc-config/hooks | { items:[{ scope:"user"|"project"|"project-local", file, exists, hooks:{ <Event>:[{ matcher, type, command, timeout }] } }] } |
GET /api/cc-config/hook-scripts | { dir, items:[{ name, file, size, mtime }] } — the handler scripts under ~/.claude/hooks/ |
Report Sections
1. Configured hooks by scope
From /hooks, flatten each source into (scope, file, Event, matcher, type, command, timeout). Group by scope (user, project, project-local). Show the
event, matcher, hook type, and the raw command. Note which file each came
from so the user can edit the right one.
2. Hook scripts on disk
From /hook-scripts, list each file in ~/.claude/hooks/ with name, size
(KB), and mtime. Cross-reference: flag scripts referenced by a hook command
but missing from disk, and scripts on disk that no configured hook calls
(orphaned).
3. Safety flags
For every type: "command" entry escalate:
- Network egress (P0) — the command contains
curl, wget, http,
https, nc, or pipes output off-box. Print the destination if visible.
- Arbitrary execution (P1) — pipes to
sh/bash, evaluates downloaded
content, or runs an unpinned interpreter on attacker-influenceable input.
- No timeout (P2) — a
command hook with timeout: null; it can hang a
session indefinitely.
- Broad matcher (P3) —
matcher: "*" or empty on a destructive command.
Output
- Section 1 as a table (
Scope | Event | Matcher | Type | Command | Timeout).
- Section 3 as a findings table (
Hook | Risk | Severity | Detail) with a
one-line verdict first (SAFE / REVIEW NEEDED / RISKY HOOKS).
- Print raw commands verbatim — do not paraphrase a command you are flagging.
- Cite only fields the API returned — never fabricate hooks or commands.
- Note: hooks live inside settings.json and are read-only via the Config
Explorer; edit them in the
file named by the source, then reinstall with
the dashboard's hook setup if needed.
- If the dashboard is unreachable at
http://localhost:4820, say so and tell
the user to start it with npm start from the repo root.
