Best-effort guard: refuses a download (curl, wget, iwr; ssh host cmd, scp/rsync/aws s3 cp to stdout) wired into a shell or interpreter (sh..fish, python, perl, ruby, node, php, lua, pwsh, deno, bun, su, source, eval, iex) by pipe, substitution or here-string, also inside bash -c/ssh/docker exec bodies, or downloaded then run with no checksum or signature step. nc/socat/one-liner reads ask. Misses: aliases, functions, outside variables, encoded text, renamed downloads. Friction only. [Session-enforced by the PreToolUse hook under com.github.copilot/ in clients that read that namespace (documented for VS Code agent mode); a client that ignores it, as the Agent Plugins spec tells generic clients to, gets the advisory skill only. The hook needs git, a usable bash and a Python 3.11+ (python3, python or py, whichever actually runs). With no working Python it exits 2; without git or bash, fail-open clients allow silently and fail-closed clients refuse matched commands. If the guard itself crashes or times out, the hook asks for confirmation rather than allowing silently -- VS Code agent mode honours that ask and it overrides the client's own auto-approve.]
