[FEATURE] Add tool_name to PreToolUse/PostToolUse hook events
Resolved 💬 5 comments Opened Jan 22, 2026 by usedhonda Closed Feb 28, 2026
Problem
Hook events for PreToolUse/PostToolUse don't include which tool is being used. To get this info, I have to parse CLAUDE_TOOL_INPUT env var.
Proposal
Add tool_name field:
{
"hook_event_type": "PreToolUse",
"tool_name": "Bash",
"session_id": "xxx"
}
Use Case
My monitoring app could show "Executing Bash" or "Edit pending":
