Chock adds friction. It is not a security boundary. In a git repo: in agent (The agent's hooks check this once chock sync sets them up. If the hook crashes, the action goes through.) ## What it does Best-effort guard on the tool channel: blocks sending data to a host outside the allowlist (.chock/egress-allowlist.txt, else a built-in registry list): curl/wget/iwr uploads, nc/socat/telnet, scp/rsync/sftp, ssh commands, aws/gsutil/az uploads, git push|remote add URLs, $(..)/$VAR in a URL or host. Asks on interpreter HTTP one-liners, gh gist/--body-file, curl --proxy/--resolve/Host:. Blocks ~/.curlrc writes. A floor, not a sandbox: other clients, runtimes, obfuscation. ## Its label on each agent - Claude Code (tested): Blocks — Refuses a matched shell command before it runs. Builder: /coding/builder/#client=claude-code&p=block-unapproved-egress - Cursor (tested): Blocks — Refuses a matched shell command before it runs. Where its description says it asks, it asks. Builder: /coding/builder/#client=cursor&p=block-unapproved-egress - Codex (tested): Blocks — Refuses a matched shell command before it runs. Where its description says it asks, it refuses, because this client cannot prompt before a shell command. If the hook errors, the action goes through (not witnessed; the vendor's row is only partly live-run). Builder: /coding/builder/#client=codex&p=block-unapproved-egress - GitHub Copilot (tested): Blocks — Refuses a matched shell command before it runs. Where its description says it asks, it asks in VS Code and refuses in Copilot CLI, because it cannot prompt there. If the hook errors, the action goes through (not witnessed; the vendor's row is only partly live-run). Builder: /coding/builder/#client=copilot&p=block-unapproved-egress - Devin (tested): Blocks — Refuses a matched shell command before it runs. Where its description says it asks, it refuses, because this client cannot prompt before a shell command. If the hook errors, the action goes through (vendor docs only, not witnessed).

A project allowlist that is not owned by the current user, or is group or world writable, is refused like an unusable file (nothing is allowed until it is fixed). Tests: test_egress_allowlist_sr2d2.py. No eval case can drive this: replay has no repository layout or file ownership to set. ## Provenance - Tested by 156 of 156 cases run automatically - SHA-256: `416be129185395798d01b07cf5272679b06a48d38c4f25e5796d68e000749e9f` - Catalog commit: https://github.com/open-coder-ai/chock-catalog/commit/1e60d211c1bb767152c6ab0167932da06ab3a10f - Source: https://github.com/open-coder-ai/chock-catalog/tree/1e60d211c1bb767152c6ab0167932da06ab3a10f/base/block-unapproved-egress (catalog path `base/block-unapproved-egress`) - Presets: Shell containment - JSON: `/api/coding/policies/block-unapproved-egress.json` - Report a problem: https://chock.sh/report/?policy=block-unapproved-egress&version=0.2.6&page=%2Fcoding%2Fpolicies%2Fblock-unapproved-egress%2F
