Claude Code hooks + Akto

Akto plugs into Claude Code's native hook system. Every prompt and every response passes through Akto's guardrails before execution.

Developer

Submits prompt to Claude Code

Akto Pre-Hook

Inspects prompt for injection, policy violations, restricted access

Claude API

Processes the validated request

Akto Post-Hook

Scans response for secrets, PII, unsafe content

Developer

Receives verified, safe output

Runtime security for every Claude Code session

From prompt inspection to skill governance, Akto covers the full lifecycle of agentic coding interactions.

Prompt Guardrails

Intercept every prompt before it reaches the Claude API. Detect prompt injection, encoded commands, restricted file access, and organizational policy violations in real time.

Response Inspection

Scan Claude's output before it reaches the developer. Catch leaked credentials, API keys, tokens, PII, and unsafe code patterns. Redact or block before display.
