WHAT IT DOES

What hooks_post-edit does on Claude Flow

AI agents use hooks_post-edit to create or update resources in Claude Flow, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Claude Flow environment.

RISK

Why hooks_post-edit is rated Medium

The tool records (writes) editing outcomes, modifying stored state for learning purposes. This is reversible data modification without deletion or financial impact. Severity is medium because it records outcomes of code/bash operations in an orchestration system where inaccurate recordings could affect agent behavior, but the tool itself doesn't execute code or delete data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'hooks_post-edit' and description 'Record editing outcome for learning' indicate it writes or persists data about editing events.
