What's Allowed
whatsallowedA free checker that reads the settings files of Claude Code, Codex and Cursor and flags risky ones. Each finding names the file, the line number and a code for the rule.
For example: a setting that downloads a script from the internet and runs it at once, a helper tool that fetches new code each time it starts, or a file of secrets, such as passwords, that the agent can read without asking.
Runs on your own computer. It does not send usage data back to us. A check of your settings, not a full security assessment.

This hook downloads a script and runs it straight away. Whoever controls that address decides what runs on your machine.

WhyThe hook downloads a script and pipes it into a shell.
FixDownload and review the script, keep a copy in the repo, and run that copy.
MEDIUMMCP-001.cursor/mcp.json:4
WhyThe MCP server (a small program that links an AI tool to other services) runs through npx with no exact version, so each start fetches the newest code.
FixPin an exact version, for example example-docs-mcp@1.2.3.
