Postman's head of product says it will make AI agent plugin opt-in clearer after auto-install complaints

Postman head of product Sarabmeet Kallar told RuntimeWire on Tuesday, Nov. 3 that Postman will make the opt-in for its AI coding agent plugins clearer, especially for existing users, after a developer reported on Oct. 25 in GitHub issue #14370 that opening the Postman desktop app installed plugins into OpenAI's Codex and Anthropic's Claude Code without asking. The report drew more than 30 comments and a widely read Hacker News discussion, and Kallar said Postman bundles its CLI and agent plugins to ease setup and is reviewing the hook approval and session-start behavior the developer flagged.

The report, filed Oct. 25th as GitHub issue #14370 on Postman's app-support tracker, drew more than 30 comments and a widely read Hacker News discussion.…
