Jev-powered judgment layer for Claude Code tool calls.

Automated README summary

Automatically summarized from the README on 13 Oct 2026; not a run by jevbooks. Run instructions and author-reported outcomes still need verification.

What it is

Bouncer is a PreToolUse hook for Claude Code that judges each proposed tool call against a YAML policy you own, returning allow or deny in about 100 ms without an LLM in the loop.

How it uses Jev

Bouncer hands Jev a state — the tool, the command, and what the paths in it mean — plus a map of plain-English questions. Each noul question returns a probability between 0 and 1, which is compared against thresholds in the policy to decide allow or deny.

Primitives:noul

Technique worth stealing

Deterministic hard rules and a fast-path allowlist run before the classifier, so only genuinely ambiguous calls reach the judgment model.

Model judgments from README excerpts

Project signals use repository metadata, an existing summary and the first 700 README characters, not the full project. “Not found” means not detected in that material; it does not establish absence. These are the original judgments with recorded models and dates, not source audits or run results.

Evidence

These signals use repository metadata, an existing summary and at most 700 cleaned README characters. ≥ 0.60 means reported in that excerpt; ≤ 0.40 means not found there. The middle band is inconclusive. None is a source-code audit or a test result. The runnable-tool question excludes research experiments; the recommendation question asks for a learning shortlist, not a quality verdict.
