   "summary": "Public reports say opening or updating Postman Desktop on macOS auto-installed Postman plugins into Claude Code and Codex (and could touch Cursor), added SessionStart hook instructions that steer broad API work into Postman skills, wired a remote Postman MCP connection, and the installer attempted to self-approve the Codex hook trust record. Postman later said they would redesign the opt-in and were reverting the change. This is a consent and trust-boundary risk: a desktop API client changing other agents' configs without a clear, specific opt-in in those agents.",
   "agent_advice": "After installing or updating desktop API tools, audit ~/.codex/config.toml (marketplaces, plugins, hooks.state), Claude Code plugin settings (~/.claude/settings.json and installed plugins), Cursor/Copilot agent plugin lists, and unexpected MCP server entries. Treat SessionStart hooks and vendor skills as untrusted until a human reviewed them. Prefer uninstalling unwanted vendor plugins from the agent host, not only from the desktop app.",
