Adds a
PostToolUsehook that compresses MCP tool responses before they reach Claude's context. Unlike Bash commands (intercepted viaPreToolUse), MCP tool outputs were previously untouched by rtk.Claude Code supports
updatedMCPToolOutputinPostToolUsehooks which allows replacing a tool's response before the agent sees it. This is the only deterministic interception point available for MCP tools (it doesn't depend on agent cooperation like Read actions).How it works
rtk init --globalinstallsrtk-post-tool-use.shalongside the existingrtk-rewrite.shand registers it underPostToolUsein~/.claude/settings.jsonwith matchermcp__.*.rtk filter-mcp-output.updatedMCPToolOutputonly when there is actual savings — pass-through when the response is already short.~/.local/share/rtk/logs/mcp-filter.logand the hook always exits 0 so it never blocks Claude.Changes
src/mcp_filter.rs: Compression logic (deduplicate + truncate).hooks/rtk-post-tool-use.sh: The same behavior that~/.claude/hooks/rtk-rewrite.sh.src/main.rs:filter-mcp-outputsubcommand.src/init.rs: Can install/uninstallPostToolUsehook alongside existingPreToolUsehook.Test plan
