Summary
According to a post on X by @realchrisebert, logs in GitHub issue #14370 show an existing Postman desktop install automatically adding plugins to Codex and Claude Code. The bundle reportedly also includes a CLI, an MCP connection, and a session-start hook that tells agents to load Postman's skill, with installer code that tries to approve the hook itself. A Postman staff reply in the issue says the bundling was meant to ease setup and that the company will make opt-in clearer and review the hook.

Why it matters
Developers who use Codex or Claude Code alongside Postman may find plugins, a CLI, and an MCP connection set up in their agent environments without a clear opt-in.
