Create hooks when you want the agent to run custom logic before or after agent events. Hooks are scripts or prompt-based checks that exchange JSON over stdin/stdout and can observe, block, modify, or follow up on behavior.
Write a simple project hook by placing a hooks.json at .cursor/hooks.json and adding a beforeShellExecution script to enforce a policy.

Automate Cursor agent hooks by defining a hooks.json configuration at .cursor/hooks.json and adding event-driven scripts that exchange JSON over stdin/stdout to observe, block, or modify actions. This lets you run custom logic before or after agent events.
Yes, you can enforce safety policies before shell execution by configuring a beforeShellExecution hook in your hooks.json. The hook script receives JSON input via stdin and can block or allow the action based on your deterministic logic.
Available events for Cursor agent hooks include preToolUse, postToolUse, beforeShellExecution, and afterAgentResponse. These events allow you to gate, audit, guard, or augment agent actions across project or user-level sessions.
Structure your hooks.json by defining deterministic, event-driven hooks that map to supported events like preToolUse or afterAgentResponse. You can place optional hook scripts in a scripts/ directory and reference them to implement validation and testing workflows.
Yes, hooks are scripts or prompt-based checks that exchange JSON over stdin/stdout to communicate with the agent. Writing these scripts allows you to observe, block, modify, or follow up on agent behavior deterministically.
The best way to validate hooks is to follow a structured process of building, validating, and testing them using the provided hooks.json configuration workflow and optional scripts. This ensures your deterministic logic and safety checks function correctly before applying them.
