@manthanguptaa says Postman's desktop app installed plugins into users' Claude Code and Codex setups behind the scenes, including a startup note telling the agent to use Postman for any API work. He points out that any app on a laptop can now change how a coding agent behaves. Why it matters: Coding agents can be...
Developers and teams using Claude Code or Codex may find their coding agents steered by software they did not directly configure. The post frames this as a new security and trust concern, since other local applications may be able to alter agent behavior on the same machine. Users should watch whether Postman or the coding tool providers respond with clearer disclosure or install controls.
Teams using AI at work may want to compare this against current productivity and review workflows.
