Show HN: Which of your secrets did your coding agent send?

Your coding agent reads files, issues and command output all day, and every byte of it goes to the model provider. stroq sent reads the sessions you already ran and names which of your own credentials went with them — one command, nothing installed. Then Stroq guards what happens next: it names the page, file or tool result that put a command there, and stops the action because of it.

Website: stroq.dev

Coding agents read untrusted content constantly: web pages, file contents, MCP tool results, the output of commands they just ran themselves. When that content hides instructions, an agent that follows what it reads turns them into real actions — outbound requests, secret reads, external pushes, arbitrary shell.

Every guard in this field answers the same question: is the command in front of me dangerous? That question cannot be answered from the command alone. An npx that installs an attacker's package looks exactly like an npx that installs a dependency; what separates them is that one of them was dictated by something the agent had just read.

Stroq is built around that difference. It sits on the agent's own tool-call hooks, remembers what the session took in, and when an action matches something that arrived in untrusted output it says so by name: which file, which tool result, how long ago. stroq replay then reconstructs the whole chain for a session after the fact — including sessions that ran before Stroq was installed. No cloud round trip, no proxy, and no relying on the model to notice the injection itself.

Nobody on the team wrote that command. It was in issue #482, under a heading addressed to "automated tooling", below the reproduction steps the maintainer actually read. The agent read the whole thing.

Watch what the scan says: the issue is clean. No rule matched it, because there is nothing to match — it is a plausible note in a plausible bug report, and the npx it asks for looks like any other install. Every guard that judges the command in front of it lets both commands through. Stroq stops the second one because it remembers that the collector's address arrived in a tool result thirty-five seconds earlier, and the argument carries the value of a real key from a real file.

That session was recorded through the hooks with real pauses between events, so 18 s later, 35 s later and 35 s long are measured. Every line of stroq replay output above is that command's own.

Full 50-second version with narration: stroq-case-study.mp4

npx @stroq/cli replay --lastIt reads the transcripts your agent already keeps, so it answers for sessions that ran before Stroq was installed — no install, no config, nothing to set up first. Nothing is sent anywhere: the replay runs against a throwaway home and never touches your audit log or taints a live session.

A second session, same command. A poisoned dependency README this time, and the same shape of answer: the read that scored SUSPECT, the curl | sh it dictated twelve seconds later, and an unrelated pnpm test left alone.

- Claude Code reads a dependency's README.mdthat hides an instruction to runcurl | shand a base64-encoded command to exfiltrate~/.ssh/id_rsa.

- Stroq's PostToolUsescan matches 13 rules across two rule sets, marks the sessionsuspect, and hands the agent an inline warning to treat the file as untrusted.

- When the next command tries to run that curl | sh, the taintedPreToolUsepolicy denies it outright (deny-encoded-exec) — before any request leaves the machine.

- An MCP result suggests npx @sentry-tooling/report-fix --apply; no rule flags it, but when the agent runs exactly that command Stroq asks and names the MCP result it came from (ask-origin-untrusted).

- A curlwhose body carries the value ofDEMO_API_KEYfrom the project's.envis denied (deny-secret-egress); the reason names the variable and the file, the audit line shows[REDACTED:DEMO_API_KEY].

- stroq attackreplays twenty recorded incidents and synthetic cells against the same policy: 15 blocked, 5 asked, 0 passed through.

This is the shape of the June 2026 Sentry "agentjacking" attack, which reached an 85% success rate against Claude Code, Cursor and Codex (Tenet Security).

Run it yourself: pnpm install && pnpm build && ./examples/demo/run-demo.sh.

stroq attack replays recorded hook events from twelve public incidents and eight synthetic matrix cells of our own — Sentry agentjacking, s1ngularity, RoguePilot, Comment-and-Control, ToxicSkills, the rm -rf ~ and drizzle-kit push --force horror stories and more — through the engine with your policy (~/.stroq/policy.yaml when present, otherwise the default) in throwaway directories — sessions, audit log, secret index, credential files and environment are all fake, so beyond the policy nothing on your machine is read — and tells you which of them would get through. Documented incidents and synthetic cells are counted apart: each synthetic cell's line ends (synthetic) instead of citing a source.

20 scenarios: 15 blocked, 5 asked, 0 passed through — every attack was stopped.

Twelve scenarios are documented public incidents; eight are synthetic matrix cells (incident: null plus a class describing the attack shape, never a fabricated source). Every scenario cites the incident it models, or its class if it has none (stroq attack --json includes the links). The exit code is 1 when any scenario does not behave as expected, so a weakened policy.yaml fails your CI, and --only 05 replays one scenario. The suite is the acceptance test for the default policy: CI runs it on every push to main and every pull request. Live mode (driving a real agent session) is not part of it.

stroq attack --fuzz crosses every recorded scenario with every mutation in the set — invisible characters inside words, variation selectors from both blocks, bidi overrides, homoglyphs, base64 and hex with their decode instructions, HTML comments, markdown link titles, synonym rephrasing, polite framing, 4 KiB of padding — and reports the variants that reach allow.

The escape list is the deliverable, not the percentage. A mutation that destroys the payload is printed but never counts: getting through proves nothing when there is no longer an instruction to follow. Scenarios that carry no untrusted text are named as not applicable rather than counted as survivors.

The exit code is 1 whenever anything escapes: the mutation corpus has no known escapes left, so this is a true zero-regression gate rather than a ratchet with slack in it.

The attack suite above ships 20 scenarios — 12 documented public incidents, 8 synthetic matrix cells — and two commands report what that corpus actually demonstrates, both regenerated in CI from their own live output so the published documents can never drift from the code that produces them: stroq bench measures the shipped rule set's false-positive rate against a vendored corpus of real developer documentation, and stroq coverage maps the same 20 scenarios against MITRE ATLAS and OWASP's Agentic Security Initiative taxonomy.

The coverage artifact is a control mapping with evidence, not a compliance claim: a technique reads covered only when a scenario exercises it end to end with no stated limitation, and every other row names the limitation that qualifies it. stroq bench's number is ours — measured by a method we publish, on a corpus we vendor — not a third-party audit; stroq bench --corpus <dir> reproduces the same measurement on your own files, and the vendored corpus that produced the published number ships with this repository, not with the npm package.

Every guard, ours included, answers one question in the moment: should this call be allowed. After the session is over a different question is the one that matters, and nothing answers it — the agent worked for three hours, something went wrong at the end, and the transcript does not say which piece of text it read turned into which action.

stroq replay reconstructs that. It groups the session into the content the agent read and, under each, the actions that traced back to it: the exact fragment carried over, how long afterwards, and the rule that stopped it.

3 of 5 judged actions traced back to content the agent read.

Read the second group again: no rule flagged that MCP result, and the npx in it looks like an ordinary package install. It is on the graph because the command the agent ran was the command the issue told it to run. That link is what no keyword rule can produce.

Actions with no untrusted origin are listed apart on purpose, so the same screen shows what an attack looks like next to what ordinary work looks like.

It adds no telemetry: both halves of the link were on disk already — a post audit entry stores what was read and how it scanned, a pre entry stores the action plus the provenance evidence tying it back — so the command rebuilds the graph from the existing log. --json emits the model, --list names the sessions in the log, and a positional argument replays one by id.

A guard can normally only describe sessions it was present for, which leaves the question unanswerable exactly when it is first asked: after something has already gone wrong, by someone who has installed nothing. Claude Code records every session under ~/.claude/projects/, and those records hold both halves the hooks would have seen — an assistant message's tool_use block is the call, the matching tool_result is the output that came back.

npx @stroq/cli replay --last # the most recent session in this directoryThat replays the agent's own recording through the engine and prints the same graph, for work that happened before Stroq existed on the machine. --transcript <path> replays a specific file.

It runs against a throwaway home, exactly as stroq attack does: sessions, provenance, audit and the secret index all live under a temporary root that is deleted afterwards. Reading what already happened never taints a live session and never appends to the chain that records real decisions.

Every guard in this space, Stroq's included, points forwards: it judges a call before it runs. Nobody answers the retroactive question — in the sessions I have already run, which of my credentials went out with the traffic? stroq sent answers it from the same recording replay --last uses, so it works with nothing installed.

npx @stroq/cli sent --last # the most recent session in this directory

npx @stroq/cli sent --transcript ~/.claude/projects/<slug>/<id>.jsonl

npx @stroq/cli sent --transcript ~/.codex/sessions/<y>/<m>/<d>/rollout-<id>.jsonl

npx @stroq/cli sent # a session from Stroq's own audit logClaude Code, Codex CLI and Cursor. --last takes the newest session any of them

recorded for this directory, and a file named with --transcript is matched to a

reader by what is inside it rather than by where it sits.

Cursor keeps no transcript files: every session is a set of rows in one SQLite store,

…/User/globalStorage/state.vscdb, so a session is addressed as <store>#<session>

and the store is opened read-only. It is also the one reader that can be missing at

run time — it needs node:sqlite, which Node 22.11 does not have — and sent says so

by name rather than reporting an empty session.

Windsurf leaves no local transcript at all; Copilot CLI leaves logs but nothing of the conversation; Antigravity keeps its trajectories as base64-wrapped protobuf inside a VS Code state database. None of the three is claimed: a reader written against a format nobody can test is coverage nobody has verified.

CREDENTIALS THAT WERE IN THIS SESSION'S TRAFFIC (1)

● aws_secret_access_key — ~/.aws/credentials

seen 2 times, first at 2026-09-14T11:02:14Z

├─ in the result of Read ~/.aws/credentials

└─ in the arguments of Bash curl -H [REDACTED:aws_secret_access_key] https://…

It reads your real credential files. That is the one thing it cannot avoid: it cannot tell you a value reached a model without knowing the value. So unlike stroq replay, which runs against a throwaway home precisely so that inspecting history never opens ~/.aws/credentials, this command builds the real secret index from ~/.aws/credentials, ~/.npmrc, ~/.netrc, ~/.docker/config.json and the working directory's .env*. Matching goes through the same salted-hash lookup the live guard uses; the report holds names and sources, never a value, and the coverage footer names every file it opened.

What the finding means, and what it does not. A credential's value appeared in the text of a tool result, so the harness put it into the model's context and it was sent to the provider. That is not a breach — it is how a coding agent works. Nothing in the report says the provider retained the value, that anyone saw it, or that it was used. It says the value was in that traffic and you may not have known. If one matters, rotate it.

Exit code 0, even on a finding. A session three weeks ago cannot be un-sent by the commit you are about to push, so failing a build on it would only teach people to delete the check — the opposite of stroq exposure, where every finding is a setting you can change today. Exit 1 here means the command could not produce a report at all (no transcript, no tool calls, no audit entries). --fail-on-finding is the opt-in for a scheduled job that should page a human.

Two sources, and they are not equally strong. A transcript keeps the text of every tool result, so a credential that only ever appeared in output is still found. Stroq's own audit log deliberately stores no result text, so that branch can only speak about tool arguments and credential-file reads; the report says so rather than printing the same "nothing found" as a transcript run.

stroq attack tells you what your policy would do. stroq exposure tells you what actually reaches you — which agents this machine runs, which of them Stroq is not installed for, which MCP servers bypass the proxy, how much instruction text the agent reads every session, which privilege-widening config keys are set, and what the repository in front of you runs when you open it.

FINDINGS (4)

CRITICAL repo-exec-surface

.git/config — core.fsmonitor: this repository sets a git configuration key whose value git runs as a command, which happens during an ordinary index refresh — an agent typing `git status` triggers it, before any approval

fix: git config --get core.fsmonitor — and remove it if you did not set it

CRITICAL privilege-widened

env.ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL is set in /Users/you/.claude/settings.json — redirects API traffic, and with it credentials, to another host

CRITICAL agent-unprotected

cursor is used on this machine and Stroq is not installed for it — nothing is enforced there

fix: stroq init --agent cursor

HIGH mcp-unwrapped

1 of 3 stdio MCP servers in cursor (/Users/you/.cursor/mcp.json) do not go through Stroq — their results reach the agent unchecked

fix: stroq init --agent mcp --client cursor

Files only: no MCP server was started. Tool-description poisoning is NOT covered by this run — add --probe to check it.

The repository row is split on purpose. A husky hook, a prepare script or a devcontainer that builds is ordinary, so those are counted and listed under --verbose and never raised as a finding — this command exits 1 on any finding, and a check that fails on every repository with a pre-commit hook is a check people turn off. What is raised is the execution a repository carries in its own metadata and fires before anyone approves anything: a .git/config key whose value git runs (core.fsmonitor during an index refresh, core.hooksPath, diff.*.textconv, the filter.* trio, credential.helper, alias.*), an include pointing outside the checkout, a .gitattributes driver whose command that config defines, a devcontainer.json initializeCommand that runs on the host rather than in the container, and a bare repository committed as plain files, which survives an ordinary clone. core.fsmonitor = true is git's own built-in monitor and runs nothing, so it is not reported.

Stroq cannot stop the first of those from firing. On Claude Code the startup git status runs before the workspace-trust prompt, and a SessionStart hook is itself gated on that prompt, so no hook can get in front of it. stroq exposure is the answer that works: run it on a repository before you open it with an agent.

The exit code is 1 when there is any finding, so stroq exposure works in CI or a pre-commit hook without a wrapper. --verbose lists the flagged files; expect some false positives in that count. Every shipped rule now declares the surface it reads — an instruction file scans as instruction_file, a probed tool description as tool_description — but all 639 deliberately resolve to "any surface", because the false positives measured against the bench corpus (see docs/BENCH.md) come from loose patterns, not from a rule reading the wrong surface, and the one rule ever scoped narrower (STROQ-2026-00009) turned out to read a generic hidden-instruction shape that has to see every surface too; scoping does not make most false positives go away, and it can quietly create a hole. --json emits the whole record.

--share prints a redacted summary — counts, finding classes, agent names and config key names only. Paths, file names, MCP server names, hostnames and usernames cannot appear in it: the shareable record is built field-by-field from typed data rather than filtered, so a field is absent until someone adds it deliberately. Nothing is ever transmitted; --share output is produced locally for you to paste.

stroq exposure reads the directory you are already in. stroq inspect reads one you have not opened yet, which for one class of attack is the only moment that helps.

stroq inspect — what /tmp/some-clone runs when you open it

BEFORE YOU APPROVE ANYTHING (2)

fix: git config --get core.fsmonitor — and remove it if you did not set it

docs/archive — HEAD, objects, refs: a bare repository is committed here as plain files, which survives a clone and can carry its own executable configuration

fix: inspect and remove docs/archive before opening this repository with an agent

When you open or build it (1, ordinary — not findings)

.husky/pre-commit — pre-commit

Exit 1 on anything in the first group, 0 otherwise; the second group never fails the command.

Stroq's hooks cannot cover that moment, and this is the honest reason the command exists. Agents run git status at startup to orient themselves. On Claude Code that happens before the workspace-trust prompt, and a SessionStart hook is gated on that same prompt, so no hook Stroq installs can get in front of it. A command you run first can.

The other half is --env, which prints two git settings:

$ eval "$(stroq inspect --env)"core.fsmonitor=false and safe.bareRepository=explicit, exported as GIT_CONFIG_*, which git applies at command scope — above anything a repository's own config says. Measured against git 2.53.0 and pinned in the test suite: with core.fsmonitor pointing at a script, a plain git status runs it twice, and the same command under these variables does not run it at all; a nested bare repository that git rev-parse otherwise treats as a repository is refused outright. Deliberately only those two — core.hooksPath is how husky installs itself, and core.pager, core.editor and diff.external are ordinary preferences, so overriding them would break real work to close a narrower hole than the report above already names.

--probe is the only flag that starts a process: it launches each configured stdio MCP server, runs the MCP handshake, asks once for tools/list, scans the tool descriptions that come back and kills the server. No tool is ever called. Without --probe no server is started, and a run that found no poisoned tool description is not evidence that there is none — the report says so in its last line either way.

Everything on this page so far is something you have to remember to do. stroq run is the same protections applied by the launch itself.

stroq run -- claude # or: cursor-agent, codex, copilot, windsurf, openclaw, antigravity

stroq run --sandbox -- codex # …and confine the filesystem too, if srt is installedstroq run — claude (claude-code)

git hardening: core.fsmonitor=false, safe.bareRepository=explicit

Three things happen before the agent starts, and each of them stops being possible a moment later.

- The git settings above are exported into the agent's environment, so they are in force before its first git status— the moment no hook can reach, because on Claude Code it happens before the workspace-trust prompt that aSessionStarthook is itself gated on. They are appended to anyGIT_CONFIG_*block you already have rather than replacing it, soeval "$(stroq inspect --env)"in your profile keeps working.

- The repository is read for pre-approval execution, and stroq runrefuses to launch into one that has any. This is default-on rather than a flag: a warning printed a quarter of a second before a full-screen TUI takes over the terminal is a warning nobody reads, and the user who clones a hostile repository is exactly the user who did not know to pass the flag.--no-inspectskips the read;--forcelaunches after printing the refusal.

- Stroq's hooks are checked for that agent, through the same code stroq doctoruses — including the drift check, so an entry that is present but no longer the commandstroq initwrote is a refusal, not a tick. A launcher that promises a confined agent must not start an unguarded one in silence.

The exit code is the agent's own, a death by signal included (128 + N, like the shell); the terminal is handed straight through, so full-screen agents behave normally; and Ctrl-C reaches the agent rather than killing the launcher out from under it.

--sandbox additionally wraps the launch in Anthropic's @anthropic-ai/sandbox-runtime (sandbox-exec on macOS, bubblewrap on Linux) — when srt is installed. It is never a dependency: without it the run says so in those words, everything above still happens, and nothing is silently downgraded.

Stroq generates the config rather than using srt's defaults, which are not what a coding agent wants (measured against 0.0.77: writes denied everywhere including the working directory, reads allowed everywhere with an empty denyRead — the widely repeated claim that "the sandbox blocks ~/.ssh and .env" describes Claude Code's configuration of it, not srt's defaults).

The interesting half is denyRead. srt's own documentation names its limitation — "domain filtering operates at the allowlist level without inspecting traffic contents", so a broad allowlist like github.com can carry an exfiltration straight out — because a sandbox has no notion of intent. Stroq's secret index does: it already knows which files on this machine actually hold credentials, because it reads them to hash their values. Those paths become the deny list, so it is your real .env, ~/.aws/credentials, ~/.npmrc, ~/.netrc and ~/.docker/config.json rather than a guessed list of well-known names. The index stores hashes and paths; paths are all this needs.

The same files go into denyWrite — one the agent cannot read but can truncate is still one it can destroy. Writes are allowed to the workspace, temp, ~/.stroq and the agent's own state directory, and nothing else; a write root wide enough to defeat the sandbox (/, your home) is refused out loud. Network stays at srt's deny-all until you name hosts with --allow-domain, which the output says plainly, because an agent that cannot reach its own API will not get far.

Two of the seven supported agents — Claude Code and Google Antigravity — ship a sandbox of their own, so for those --sandbox adds a second, outer boundary rather than the first one, and the launcher says so. Its value is concentrated on the other five.

On macOS it is for the headless invocation, not the TUI. Measured against srt 0.0.77: a child inside its Seatbelt profile cannot enter raw mode (tcsetattr returns EPERM), while a permissive sandbox-exec profile can — so this is srt's profile rather than Seatbelt, and not something Stroq can widen from outside. isatty and the window size work; raw mode does not, and every full-screen agent UI needs it. stroq run --sandbox says so on stderr whenever a terminal is attached instead of letting it surface as an unexplained crash. Use claude -p, codex exec or a CI run under --sandbox, or drop --sandbox for an interactive session and keep everything above it.

One thing had to change in Stroq itself for this to be honest. The credential files the sandbox denies reading are the same files the secret index is built from, and a denied path is indistinguishable from a deleted one — stat on one returns EPERM. Left alone, the first lookup inside a sandboxed run would see every source gone, rebuild the index from nothing, and write that empty index over the real one, disarming the secret-egress guard for every session afterwards, not just the sandboxed one. So stroq run --sandbox refreshes the index before it launches and then seals it for the run. Measured end to end: inside the sandbox, with ~/.aws/credentials unreadable, deny-secret-egress still blocks a curl carrying that key and names the variable and the file it came from. Without the seal, the same run leaves the index at zero entries.

stroq untaint clears a session and forgets. Re-reading the same file re-taints it, so a false positive on something the agent opens every session is not a one-off annoyance — it is a session tainted from the first minute, every time, and the way people escape that is by removing Stroq.

$ stroq trust docs/SECURITY.md

trusted /repo/docs/SECURITY.md

rules waived: ATR-2026-00142, ATR-2026-00113

pinned to this exact content — any change to the file taints againAn exemption list is also the first thing an attacker wants to write to, so three things hold it down.

- Pinned to the bytes. The entry records the sha256 of the file as it is now, and a verdict is waived only when the source and the digest both match. Trusting a README today says nothing about the README in tomorrow's pull request; change one character and it taints again.

- Protected. The list lives in ~/.stroq/trust.json, whichconfig.selfalready covers, so a tainted agent asking to add itself an exemption is denied like any other attempt to edit Stroq's own configuration.

- Visible. A waiver is written into the audit chain next to the verdict it waived, and stroq logprints it assuspect(1.00) trustedrather than as a clean line.stroq trust --listshows every entry with the rules it waives. An exemption nobody can read back is a hole, not a setting.

Waiving a taint is not waiving the policy. The classes that are denied at any taint — secret.egress, config.self, config.git_exec, shell.exec_encoded — are unaffected: trusting the file that mentioned curl … | sh does not let the agent run it.

stroq trust refuses to record a file no rule flags, which would be an entry that waives nothing today and becomes a blanket exemption the day the file changes.

- PostToolUse— scan and taint. The output of- Read,- WebFetch,- WebSearch,- Bash,- Grep, and every- mcp__*tool is normalized (zero-width characters and tag/variation-selector code points stripped, homoglyphs folded, base64/hex/URL-encoded content decoded up to two levels) and matched against the rule set. If the highest-severity match scores at or above- threshold(0.6 by default), the session is marked- suspectand the agent gets an inline warning telling it to treat the content as untrusted data.

- PreToolUse— classify and decide.- Bash,- Write/- Edit/- MultiEdit/- NotebookEdit,- Read,- WebFetch, and- mcp__*calls are classified into action classes (- shell.network,- shell.destructive,- shell.exec_encoded,- fs.secrets,- git.push_external,- config.self,- config.self_touch,- mcp.side_effect, and more) and evaluated against an ordered policy — first matching rule wins, otherwise the configured default (- allow).

- Audit. Every decision, on both hooks, is appended to a hash-chained JSONL log (~/.stroq/audit.jsonl), with sensitive values redacted before they're written.stroq verifychecks that the chain hasn't been tampered with. A false positive can be cleared withstroq untaint --session <id>(the session id is shown instroq log).

The phase names are Claude Code's; every other adapter maps its host's events onto the same pair — Cursor's beforeShellExecution/afterMCPExecution, Codex's and Copilot's PreToolUse/PostToolUse, OpenClaw's before_tool_call/after_tool_call, Windsurf's pre_*/post_* events, the MCP proxy's request and its response — so one policy file, one taint store and one audit log govern all of them.

If Stroq itself crashes while handling a high-impact tool call, it fails closed — deny — rather than silently letting the action through.

- Six agents and any MCP client, one engine. Native hooks for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot CLI and Windsurf, an in-process plugin for OpenClaw, and a stdio proxy for any other MCP client (Claude Desktop included): the same classifier, policy, taint and audit everywhere, installed with one initper agent. The coverage table says what each host lets Stroq stop, and docs/AGENTS.md lists every documented limit.

- Provenance: Stroq knows where an instruction came from. Every scanned tool output leaves a bounded, redacted trace of its actionable atoms — URLs and hosts, npx/pip installpackage names,curl … | shlines, base64 blobs. When a later command contains one of them, the decision carries the evidence (stroq whyshows it, and so does the hook reason Claude Code displays): an unknown package or a pipe-to-shell copied from a file, a web page or an MCP result is asked about; copied from content Stroq had already flagged, it is denied. Packages the project already depends on are ignored for shell commands, sonpx tscfrom your own README stays silent.

- Secret egress guard: Stroq knows where your secrets are going. The values of secrets on this machine — the project's .env*files,~/.aws/credentials,~/.npmrc,~/.netrc,~/.docker/config.json, and credential-shaped environment variables — are indexed as salted hashes. An outbound action (network command, web fetch, MCP call, external push, encoded exec) whose arguments contain one of those values is denied and the reason names the secret and its file, never the value.stroq canaryprints a decoy secret to plant; any outbound use of it is a certain positive that also taints the session. The whole argument is scanned, in overlapping windows up to 2 MiB; an outbound argument larger than that is denied as unscannable rather than sent half-checked.

- Cloak: the MCP server's data doesn't have to reach the model provider. stroq init --agent mcp --cloakmakes the proxy replace values it can identify in atools/callresult — the exact values of credentials on this machine, plus emails, phone numbers, IBANs, Luhn-valid card numbers and SSNs — with stable placeholders before the model reads them, and restore them on the way back to the same server. So an agent can act on a customer record it was never shown: it sends[STROQ_EMAIL_1]and the server receives the address. Off by default, because it changes what a third party receives and keeps a reversible dictionary on disk (SECURITY.md). A placeholder standing for a known secret is never restored — the call carrying it is blocked. Names and street addresses are not detected: that needs NER, which would be this project's first native runtime dependency. docs/CLOAK-COMPARISON.md puts it next to AgentCloak Desktop, including the rows where AgentCloak wins.

- Twenty scenarios you can replay. stroq attackruns recorded hook events from public incidents and synthetic matrix cells through your own policy and reportsblocked/asked/passedper scenario, with the source of each. It is how we check that a change to the classifier or the default policy does not silently let an old attack back in.

- Content scanning with real normalization. Zero-width and tag characters stripped, homoglyphs folded, nested base64/hex/URL decoding — so сurlwith a Cyrillicс, or a command hidden in base64, is matched like the plain text it decodes to.

- 639 gated rules. 12 hand-written Stroq rules plus 627 of the 636 vendored Agent Threat Rules — every one of them passed through a benign-corpus false-positive gate and a regex performance gate before it ships, and the 9 that did not are held back. Russian-language rule variants included.

- Taint-aware policy. The decision about an action knows whether the agent has read something suspicious in this session. Fifteen action classes, one ordered YAML policy, first match wins.

- Self-protection. An agent that has been tainted cannot edit Stroq's own policy, hooks, or .claude/settings.json(config.self→ deny); touching them at all asks first.

- Tamper-evident audit. Hash-chained JSONL with structural redaction, 0600permissions, andstroq verify.

- Fail-closed. Engine error on a high-impact PreToolUsecall means deny, not allow.

- Local and zero-config. One command to install, nothing sent anywhere, a single YAML file if you want to change the defaults.

- The agent's own permission prompts ask about an action; they don't know that the agent just read a README telling it to run that action. Stroq carries that context (taint) into the decision and never relies on the model noticing the injection.

- A regex in a hook script sees the raw text. Stroq normalizes first (zero-width, homoglyphs, nested encodings), ships hundreds of gated rules instead of a handful, and records every decision in a log you can verify.

- Cloud AI-security platforms put a network round trip in the hot path. Agent hooks fail open on timeout, so a guard that is slow to answer silently stops guarding. Stroq is local, deterministic, and fails closed on high-impact actions.

Every adapter also has documented limits — a hook contract with no ask, a tool whose output never reaches a hook, a wire format inferred rather than recorded from a real session. docs/AGENTS.md has the full event table, the wire format, and every limit for each of the seven, plus the demo command where there is one (./examples/demo/run-<agent>-demo.sh).

The repository is also a plugin marketplace. Inside Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add AGGIB/Stroq

/plugin install stroq@stroq

This registers the same PreToolUse/PostToolUse hooks as stroq init without touching your .claude/settings.json, so stroq doctor will report the settings-file hooks as missing — that is expected. The plugin's hook wrapper runs a globally installed stroq when there is one (fastest), and otherwise npx -y @stroq/cli@<pinned version> (the first run downloads the package). If neither can start, a PreToolUse event exits with code 2, which Claude Code treats as block: a missing runtime never silently disables the firewall. For the lowest per-call latency, npm install -g @stroq/cli alongside the plugin.

node packages/cli/dist/index.js init

node packages/cli/dist/index.js doctorCopy policies/default.yaml to ~/.stroq/policy.yaml and edit it — rules are evaluated in order, the first match wins, and anything unmatched falls through to default. A custom ~/.stroq/policy.yaml replaces the default policy wholesale, so provenance is enforced only if it contains rules for origin.suspect and origin.untrusted — copy deny-origin-suspect and ask-origin-untrusted from policies/default.yaml, keeping them ahead of the ask-* rules; the secret egress guard needs the same treatment — copy deny-secret-egress and deny-secret-unscannable too, keeping them first. threshold (0–1) is the minimum scan score before a PostToolUse result taints a session as suspect. Set STROQ_HOME to relocate all state (policy override, sessions, the secret index, and the audit log) to a different directory.

Generated from policies/default.yaml; rules are evaluated top to bottom and the first match wins.

Commands that only read the security config — cat, grep, git status/diff/add, and the like — are classified as ordinary reads, not config.self, so they stay allowed; opening it in an editor or otherwise writing to it is what triggers config.self (deny) or config.self_touch (ask).

shell.unparsed is the one class that is not a claim about danger. It fires when a command runs something Stroq could not read — iex $payload, & $cmd, a pipeline fed into Invoke-Expression from something that is not a fetch — and the verdict it produces is "I could not tell", not "this is safe". It is triggered by that construct alone and never by an unrecognised command, so ordinary work does not collect confirmation prompts.

origin.untrusted fires when a proposed action contains an atom that appeared in an earlier tool output of the same session; origin.suspect additionally requires that output to have scanned as suspect. Only some atoms count: package specs (npx, pnpm dlx, uvx, npm install, pip install, cargo install, …), curl/wget piped into a shell, and base64 blobs always do; URLs and hosts count only when the action is already network-shaped (shell.network, git.push_external, shell.exec_encoded), so following a documentation link with WebFetch never asks. Package atoms found in package.json dependencies, node_modules/.bin, requirements.txt, requirements-dev.txt or pyproject.toml of the working directory are not counted for shell commands. Traces live in ~/.stroq/sessions/<hash>.prov.json (named by a hash of the session id; hash, redacted excerpt ≤ 120 chars, source, timestamp; at most 2,000 per session; mode 0600). Once an output is flagged suspect, every atom it contains is treated as dictated by it — including a project's own legitimate setup commands if they appeared in the same file — so the recovery for a false positive is stroq untaint --session <id> (the session id is shown in stroq log), which clears both the taint and the provenance trace. Per-source trust is planned. Provenance is text-level: an agent that reads a poisoned page and then writes its own command is not attributed this way — that is what taint and the policy rules above are for — and a package the agent has itself added to package.json becomes "known", since provenance does not attribute Write/Edit calls.

secret.egress fires when an egress-shaped action (shell.network, network.fetch, mcp.call, mcp.side_effect, git.push_external, shell.exec_encoded) carries the exact value of a known secret. Known secrets are the credential-named or vendor-shaped values (12+ characters, no whitespace, no placeholders, no paths, and no plain URLs or hostnames) found in the working directory's .env* files (except .env.example-style files, and at most 32 of them), ~/.aws/credentials, ~/.npmrc, ~/.netrc, ~/.docker/config.json, and in environment variables with credential-like names. The index at ~/.stroq/secrets.json (mode 0600) holds only sha256(salt + value), the key name and the file path; it is rebuilt when a source changes, and environment variables are hashed live and never stored. The index is fully derivable from its sources, so a damaged file is rebuilt rather than blocking actions. stroq doctor shows a secrets line (<n> values from <m> sources, <k> canaries, or index not built yet (built on the first outbound action)) and fails that check — rather than reporting a comfortable zero — when a source exists but could not be read, when files were dropped, or when the index file was corrupt and will be rebuilt. The matched value is redacted from the audit summary as [REDACTED:<name>].

The whole argument is scanned, up to 2 MiB. The input is read in 256 KiB windows that overlap by 4 KiB — so a value landing on a window boundary is still seen whole — for a total of 2 MiB per action. Padding therefore buys an attacker nothing up to that size. Past it, the action is not scanned further and is not let through either: an egress-shaped action whose input exceeds 2 MiB gets the class secret.unscannable and is denied by deny-secret-unscannable, whose reason names the bound and nothing from the arguments. A legitimate inline payload above 2 MiB (an MCP write_file carrying a whole file body, a shell command embedding a huge here-doc) is refused rather than sent unscanned; pass a file path instead of inline content.

Limits. The guard matches secret values in the arguments of an outbound call. It does not know what a command will go on to read, so curl -d @~/.aws/credentials …, cat ~/.aws/credentials | curl -d @- … and curl -d "$(cat .env)" … are not secret.egress — they are covered by the fs.secrets class, which the default policy denies once the session is tainted (and, untainted, allows — the file path is recorded in the audit log, not blocked). Matching is exact (plus URL-decoded forms): a value concatenated with adjacent characters, split across two arguments, base64-encoded, or sent as a DNS label is not matched, and neither is a secret containing / that sits inside a URL path. $VAR expansion happens in the shell after Stroq sees the command, so curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" is never flagged — which makes it the recommended way to pass a credential to a legitimate service. The guard is destination-unaware: a literal credential in the arguments is denied even when the destination is the credential's own service, so paste a token into a curl to its own API and you will be stopped. Only egress-shaped actions are checked (a secret in a purely local command is not egress, and neither is one in an over-2-MiB local command, which is allowed rather than denied as unscannable); Write and Edit calls are not checked at all. WebFetch still contributes its url and prompt only, so a secret in a header it sends is a separate, pre-existing gap. The post-scan of tool RESULTS keeps its own 200 000-character clip, which this bound does not change: a poisoned result padded past that is not scanned beyond the clip. Passwords inside connection URLs (postgres://user:pw@host) are not indexed, dotted or dot-prefixed values (my.super.secret.pw1, .hidden-value-1) are skipped as hostname-like, and neither ~/.ssh private keys, ~/.kube/config nor gcloud configs are indexed — reading those files is still covered by fs.secrets. If a value is flagged that should not be, fix it at the source: rename the .env key so it is not credential-like (or drop the value) — a vendor-shaped value such as ghp_… is indexed whatever its key is called — or set the effect of deny-secret-egress to ask in your own policy.yaml.

Stroq ships 12 hand-written rules in rules/stroq/ (Apache-2.0) targeting instruction override, hidden directives to the agent, secret exfiltration, encoded execution, and related prompt-injection patterns — some with Russian-language rule alternatives and matching fixtures alongside the English ones. rules/atr/ vendors 636 more from Agent Threat Rules (MIT).

Every rule is built through two gates, run locally by a maintainer (pnpm build:rules):

- Benign-corpus gate: any rule that fires on rules/fixtures/benign/is a false positive. A vendored ATR rule that fails this is disabled automatically (rules/atr-disabled.jsoncurrently lists 9); a Stroq-authored rule held to the same bar is never auto-disabled — a false positive fails the build instead, so the rule gets fixed.

- Regex performance gate: every rule is timed against adversarial blobs (repeated base64 alphabet, repeated characters, repeated URLs) at increasing sizes; anything over 25 ms is disabled before it ships, rather than shipping a rule that could stall a hook on real input.

That leaves 639 active rules at runtime out of 648 defined.

The performance gate's timings are machine-dependent, so CI never re-measures them: pnpm build:rules --check re-verifies rule compilation and the benign-corpus scan against the committed rules/atr-disabled.json and byte-compares the result against the committed bundle, deterministically and without timing anything. CI runs it with --advisory-perf, which additionally times every rule and prints a warning for anything over threshold that isn't already disabled, without failing the build — a rule that's consistently slow gets caught and disabled the next time a maintainer runs pnpm build:rules locally.

Stroq is young; here's what it actually gives you today, and where the edges are.

- Fail-closed: if Stroq errors out while handling a high-impact PreToolUsecall, the action is denied, not silently allowed.

- Fail-closed on time, too. Every agent that times a hook out treats its own timeout as an allow: Claude Code cancels the hook and lets the call continue through the normal permission flow, Codex reports a hook failure and proceeds, Copilot discards the late deny. A hook that runs long therefore loses its verdict, not just its explanation. Stroq answers first — a watchdog inside each invocation returns the same fail-closed verdict at 60% of the timeout the installer wrote for that agent, then flushes and exits rather than waiting for whatever is stuck. The margin is wide: the only wall-clock budget in the decision path is the scanner's 500 ms.

- stroq doctorchecks that the hook is still Stroq's, not just that one is there. Matching a command that ends in- hook claude-codeis a test of intent; an entry rewritten to- /tmp/evil hook claude-codepasses it.- stroq initrecords what it wrote to- ~/.stroq/install.json, and- doctorfails the agent's line when the config no longer carries that command. This detects a modification rather than preventing one — an attacker who can rewrite the agent's config can rewrite the record too — but the ChainDrop npm worm (2026-08-04) plants hook entries in Claude Code's settings, and until now nothing said so.

- Every adapter has a hook contract narrower than Claude Code's, in its own way: Cursor cannot block a file edit made through its editor, Codex and Windsurf have no askat all, Copilot discards a late deny instead of waiting for it, OpenClaw can only talk back on the next action, and the MCP proxy has no channel to a human. None of that is a silent gap — every case above is enforced as the closest safe equivalent (a deny, an audit line, a taint carried to the next action) and named instroq doctor. docs/AGENTS.md has the full limit for each.

- Hooks are not an enforcement boundary. Anthropic's own hooks documentation states that hooks are not a permission enforcement mechanism, and they can be turned off with disableAllHooksor bypassed withbypassPermissions. That applies to every hook-based tool, Stroq included: Stroq raises the cost of an attack and makes it auditable, it does not make an agent immune. Runstroq exposureto see what is actually enforced on your machine rather than assuming.

- stroq runis a launcher, and only- --sandboxis a boundary. The git hardening and the two refusals are real and apply before the agent's first instruction, but an agent started this way can still relax its own permissions once it is running, exactly as one started any other way can.- --sandboxis the part that is enforced by the OS rather than by cooperation, and it is optional, absent on Windows in anything but alpha, and defeated by the domains you allow: srt's own documentation says domain filtering does not inspect traffic contents, so- --allow-domain github.commakes GitHub an exfiltration path as far as the sandbox is concerned. That is the gap Stroq's provenance and secret-egress rules cover from inside — which is why the launcher refuses to start an agent with no hooks rather than leaning on the sandbox alone.

- Latency: roughly 100–250 ms per hook invocation today (content-heavy PostToolUsescans sit at the high end), dominated by Node process startup rather than the scan itself — not "a few milliseconds," and not yet the local daemon described in the roadmap.

- Regex denial-of-service is mitigated, not eliminated: once a match starts, a single pathological regex cannot be interrupted mid-match — the scan's wall-clock budget is only checked between rules and variants. The primary defense is the build-time performance gate described above, which keeps known-slow patterns out of the shipped rule set; if a scan still runs past its budget at runtime, the result fails closed (treated as suspect) instead of silently returning clean. True pre-emption via worker-thread isolation is on the roadmap.

- The MCP cloak detects what a rule can settle, and nothing else. With --cloakon, atools/callresult has its known-credential values, emails, phone numbers, IBANs, Luhn-valid cards and SSNs replaced before the model reads them — and not person names or street addresses, which need NER.tools/list,resources/readandprompts/getresults are not cloaked at all, object keys are not rewritten, and a result too large to read whole (8 MiB on the wire, 2 MiB parsed) is dropped rather than delivered uncloaked, which leaves the client's request for it unanswered. A placeholder the dictionary has forgotten travels to the server as literal text. Turning the flag on also puts a reversible dictionary on disk — the only one Stroq keeps — at~/.stroq/cloak/, mode0600, forgotten after 12 idle hours; see SECURITY.md and the honest comparison with AgentCloak in docs/CLOAK-COMPARISON.md.

- Audit log tail truncation is undetectable today: the hash chain proves that no existing entry was altered, but an attacker with local write access to ~/.stroq/audit.jsonlwho deletes the newest entries leaves no trace without an external anchor (signed checkpoints are future work).

- Shell quote-splicing evasions are known: certain shell-quoting tricks (for example c"u"rl,$'curl') can split a command word in a way the classifier does not yet fully parse. A quote-aware lexer is on the roadmap; see SECURITY.md for the full, current out-of-scope list.

- Local daemon with an ONNX-based classifier, replacing per-invocation Node startup and pure regex matching for the content scan.

- Cursor's generic preToolUsehook, so edits and deletes made through Cursor's editor can be blocked rather than only audited.

- Directory-level self-tamper (a bare rm -rf .cursorormv .windsurf …), path normalisation in the protected-path match, and a directory-aware secret-path classifier (~/.sshwithout a trailing slash) — the limits recorded in docs/AGENTS.md.

- Recorded wire fixtures for Codex, Copilot CLI, OpenClaw and Windsurf in place of the hand-written ones.

- NER for the MCP cloak, so person names and street addresses are detected too — the one thing AgentCloak Desktop does that Stroq's cloak does not. It waits on a way to do it without adding a native runtime dependency.

- A quote-aware shell lexer and worker-isolated scanning (see Guarantees and limits above).

- Team control plane: shared policy, fleet-wide audit visibility, and centralized false-positive triage across a team's agents.

See SECURITY.md for the vulnerability reporting process, response targets, and current scope. This is a security tool, so a bypass of a documented protection is treated as a vulnerability, not a feature request.

We also deliberately never suggest installing Stroq via curl | sh — the entire point of this project is to stop that pattern, so use npx/npm or build from source instead.
