Unclear It is not known whether plugins can use this hook by default.
What
Plugins can now hook http.fetch, the point where Claude Code sends a request over the internet. A plugin is an add-on that extends Claude Code, and a hook here is plugin code that runs at that point. A hook can do either of these:
- Answer the request itself, with a status, headers and text.
- Rewrite the request before it goes out.
Plugins are lent credentials, meaning passwords or keys, only in limited ways, and never your session's sign-in. A check that runs before the request can refuse it, and a refused request comes back as a 403 permission error.
Why
Plugins can now intercept and change outgoing requests, including requests to the API, so it is worth knowing what any installed plugin is allowed to do.
