Fills two failure-visibility gaps in plugin telemetry. ## Gap 1: HTTP errors from _call_claude invisible Before: a 4xx/5xx response from the LLM API caused `_call_claude` to return None and produce ZERO fingerprint in tengu_hook_plugin_metrics. A failed call looked identical to "no review needed". The recent deprecation-400 outage (PR #2105, output_format → output_config.format, #2098) was invisible in aggregate dashboards until a user manually reported errors from their debug log. Cohort-specific or partial outages would never show up in BQ. Fix: add `http_err_last` (most recent status) and `http_err_count` to the existing `_USAGE` accumulator in `_base.py`. `_usage_metrics()` snapshots them whenever count > 0 (skip-path no-pollute contract preserved when count == 0). All `_call_claude` error sites now call the new `_record_http_error()` helper alongside the existing `_last_call_claude_http_error` module-state assignment. Now any future API failure category is queryable in BQ in real time: SELECT DATE(server_timestamp, "America/Los_Angeles") AS d, CAST(JSON_VALUE(additional_metadata, "$.http_err_last") AS INT64) AS code, COUNT(*) AS n FROM ... WHERE event_name = "tengu_hook_plugin_metrics" AND JSON_VALUE(additional_metadata, "$.pluginId") LIKE "%security-guidance%" AND JSON_VALUE(additional_metadata, "$.http_err_count") IS NOT NULL GROUP BY d, code ORDER BY d, n DESC ## Gap 2: sdk_bootstrap_phase / sdk_bootstrap_err always NULL in BQ Before: ensure_agent_sdk.py emitted these as strings (e.g. "pip", "dns_fail"). CC's plugin-metrics pipeline silently drops plugin-emitted string values — only bool|finite-number plugin metrics reach BigQuery. (CC-core fields like `subscription_type` are exempt because they're injected downstream of plugin validation.) Confirmed empirically: ~185K BUILD_FAILED rows in BQ over the past 2 days had `sdk_bootstrap_phase` = NULL and `sdk_bootstrap_err` = NULL despite the Python code emitting them. ~28K BUILD_FAILED sessions/day had no diagnostic split — flying blind on whether the failures are pip-no-match vs dns-fail vs ssl-verify vs proxy-auth etc. Fix: encode phase + err_kind as stable integers via SDK_BOOTSTRAP_PHASE_CODES and SDK_BOOTSTRAP_ERR_CODES. Phase: 1=pre, 2=venv, 3=pip, 4=main. Err: 10 known categories (1-10), 11-98 reserved, 99 = uncategorized catch-all (covers "exc:<X>", "other:<X>", and unmapped strings). APPEND-ONLY for telemetry stability. Also corrects the misleading "CC accepts string metric values" comment in ensure_agent_sdk.py that led to the bug originally. Verified locally on macOS Python 3.13: - py_compile clean. - 32 new tests in test_telemetry_failure_signals.py (added to internal test suite at sg-staging/tests/, not in this PR): * 4 HTTP-error tracking unit tests: _record_http_error increments count + tracks most-recent; handles None/invalid; -1 for network/timeout. * 4 _usage_metrics emission tests: empty when no activity; successful call has no http_err fields; failure-only has http_err and no api_calls; mixed has both. * 1 contract test: every emitted value is bool|finite-number (catches future regression of the string-dropping bug class). * 13 sdk_bootstrap encoding tests (parametrized over the 10 known err_kind categories + 5 catch-all shapes): each maps to the right integer; unknown phase = 0; unknown err = 99. * 1 static-shape regression catcher: every `err_kind = "..."` string in ensure_agent_sdk.main() must be in SDK_BOOTSTRAP_ERR_CODES (otherwise new err_kinds silently collapse to 99). * 2 emit-shape regression catchers: the assignments in main() go through _encode_phase / _encode_err_kind helpers (no raw strings); no literal string values for sdk_bootstrap_phase/err. * 1 comment-accuracy: the misleading "CC accepts string metric values" comment is gone. - Full suite: 437/437 pass + 2 skipped (live API tests, opt-in). NOT verified end-to-end against BQ — would require shipping + observing in production for 24h to confirm the http_err and sdk_bootstrap_phase/err fields actually appear in tengu_hook_plugin_metrics rows. The unit tests pin the contract; if the wire shape is broken, BQ will show NULL for the new fields and we revisit (with the same diagnostic the BUILD_FAILED bug gave us).

security-guidance
Security review for Claude-generated code. Three layers:
- Pattern warnings — instant regex-based reminders on
Edit/Writefor ~25 known-dangerous patterns (yaml.load,torch.load(weights_only=False),pickle.loadon untrusted data, rawinnerHTML, hardcoded secrets, etc.). - LLM diff review — when Claude finishes a turn, the plugin sends the diff to a fast LLM call (Opus 4.7 by default) and feeds high-severity findings back to Claude so it can fix them before you see the response.
- Agentic commit review — on
git commit, an SDK-driven reviewer reads related files (Read/Grep/Glob) to trace data flow across the codebase, catching multi-file vulnerabilities pattern matching misses (IDOR, auth bypass, cross-file SSRF).
Findings cover common web-vulnerability classes — injection, XSS, SSRF, hardcoded secrets, IDOR, auth bypass, unsafe deserialization, and path traversal among others.
Install
/plugin install security-guidance@claude-plugins-official
Marketplace ships enabled by default in Claude Code — no setup beyond having the CLI itself.
Prerequisites
- Claude Code CLI ≥ v2.1.144
- Python 3.8+ on
PATH(python3,python, orpy -3— the plugin picks the first that works) - A working API path (subscription, API key, or 3P provider config)
Configuration
All configuration is via environment variables. None are required for default behavior.
Selecting a model
# 1P / gateway: a canonical model id
SECURITY_REVIEW_MODEL=claude-opus-4-7 # default
# Bedrock: use the inference-profile id
SECURITY_REVIEW_MODEL=us.anthropic.claude-opus-4-7
# Vertex: use the Vertex date-tag form
SECURITY_REVIEW_MODEL=claude-opus-4-7@20260218
SECURITY_REVIEW_MODEL controls the LLM diff review. SG_AGENTIC_MODEL (same syntax) controls the agentic commit reviewer; defaults to the same model.
Enabling/disabling layers
| Variable | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
SECURITY_GUIDANCE_DISABLE=1 |
unset | Kill switch — disables the entire plugin |
ENABLE_PATTERN_RULES=0 |
on | Disable layer 1 (regex pattern warnings) |
ENABLE_CODE_SECURITY_REVIEW=0 |
on | Disable all LLM reviews (Stop hook + commit/push) |
ENABLE_STOP_REVIEW=0 |
on | Disable only the Stop-hook diff review, keeping commit/push reviews. Useful for multi-agent / shared-worktree setups where another agent can move HEAD between a worker's turns |
ENABLE_COMMIT_REVIEW=0 |
on | Disable layer 3 (agentic commit review) |
Higher-recall mode
SG_DUAL_OR=on # default off
Runs two parallel review calls and unions the findings. Catches a few percentage points more vulnerabilities in our testing, at roughly 2× the API cost per review. Most users don't need it.
Org-specific policies
Drop a claude-security-guidance.md in any of:
~/.claude/claude-security-guidance.md— user-wide rules<project>/.claude/claude-security-guidance.md— project rules, intended to be committed<project>/.claude/claude-security-guidance.local.md— local overrides, intended to be.gitignore'd
All three are loaded and concatenated into the LLM diff review's prompt in the order user → project → project-local. If the combined size exceeds the 8 KB prompt budget, the tail is truncated, so user-wide rules are kept and project-local rules are dropped first. The agentic commit reviewer (layer 3) does not currently read this file. Example:
# Acme security rules
- All SELECTs against the `customers` or `orders` tables MUST go through `db.replica`,
never `db.primary`. Primary is for writes only.
- Background jobs must not use the user-context auth token; they get
service-account creds from `jobs.get_service_account()`.
- Calls to `requests.get(url)` with a user-controlled `url` need
the SSRF-allowlist wrapper at `acme.net.safe_request`.
Built-in rules cover common web-vulnerability classes without it — claude-security-guidance.md is for things specific to your codebase that the model can't infer.
Privacy and data handling
The plugin sends data to a model endpoint to perform its reviews. Specifically, each Stop-hook diff review transmits the changed file paths, the diff hunks, and the relevant file contents in the diff; each agentic commit review additionally transmits any files the reviewer pulls in via Read/Grep/Glob while tracing data flow. Your claude-security-guidance.md contents (user, project, and local) are appended to the prompt on every review, so don't put secrets in it.
Where that data goes depends on your Claude Code configuration:
- Default (Anthropic API / subscription): sent to
api.anthropic.comand handled under Anthropic's Commercial Terms and Privacy Policy. - LLM gateway (
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URLset): sent to your gateway URL instead. The gateway operator's terms apply. - 3rd-party providers (Bedrock / Vertex / Foundry / Mantle): sent to your configured provider endpoint. The provider's data-handling terms apply (e.g., AWS / GCP / Azure).
The plugin writes its own debug log to ~/.claude/security/log.txt (override with SECURITY_GUIDANCE_DEBUG_LOG). The log contains diffstate metadata and finding categories — no full file contents or model prompts — and rotates at 1 MB. Nothing is uploaded.
Limitations
This is a best-effort assistive tool, not a guarantee. Treat findings as suggestions, not as a substitute for human code review, SAST/DAST, dependency scanning, or pen-testing. The reviewer can miss vulnerabilities, produce false positives, and may behave differently across codebases, languages, and model versions. No warranty is provided — use is subject to Anthropic's Commercial Terms.
Troubleshooting
Plugin doesn't seem to fire — check that ~/.claude/claude-security-guidance.md (or hook activity) shows in debug logs. Run Claude Code with --debug-file /tmp/claude/debug.txt and grep for security_reminder_hook. The plugin also writes its own log to ~/.claude/security/log.txt.
Review never finds anything — verify your API path works. On 3P providers, check SECURITY_REVIEW_MODEL is set to a provider-specific id (not a bare claude-opus-4-7). On LLM gateways, check the gateway's logs for POST /v1/messages traffic from the plugin.
Too many false positives — drop SECURITY_REVIEW_MODEL to a cheaper model (claude-sonnet-4-6) and re-evaluate; if precision is the priority, stay on Opus 4.7.
Want to silence a specific finding — add a comment to the line explaining why it's safe; the LLM reviewer treats inline justifications as exclusions. For systemic exclusions, document them in your claude-security-guidance.md.
