Operate the system
Understand agent hooks before they run
Hooks can make agent workflows consistent, but they also create behavior outside the visible prompt. FireCursor surfaces configured hook events so operators can understand the automation around a run.
Quick answer
The shortest useful version.
Inspect project- and user-scope hooks before sensitive work, identify which event triggers each command, and review the underlying configuration on desktop before changing or trusting it.
Step by step
Do this with confidence.
- 01
Open hook visibility
Inspect the events that report configured hooks for the active project and user scope.
- 02
Understand the trigger
Distinguish start, pre-tool, post-tool, completion, or other provider-defined moments. Timing changes the risk.
- 03
Trace the command
Review the hook source and script on the paired computer, including environment assumptions and external side effects.
- 04
Run a bounded test
Test automation in a safe workspace and confirm its output is visible before relying on it for production work.
Visibility is the first control
A mobile interface should not imply that seeing a hook equals validating its code. FireCursor reports configured presence and scope; review and editing still require the source appropriate to the provider integration.
Pay special attention to hooks that deploy, publish, message, mutate secrets, or call paid services.
Healthy hook characteristics
- Narrow event and project scope
- Deterministic inputs
- Clear logs and failure behavior
- No hidden credentials in source
- A safe way to disable or roll back
