Introducing AI Coding Agent Governance: Using Hooks to Bring Visibility to the ADLC | Endor Labs

Summary

Endor Labs describes using hooks, a deterministic policy layer exposed by AI coding harnesses such as Claude Code and Cursor, to govern agent actions. The post argues that hooks can enforce policy, provide centralized audit logging, and act as defense in depth, including blocking concrete bad behaviors like exfiltrating .env or running terraform destroy.
