No data upload has been reported. On Nov 3 Postman said it will make the opt-in clearer and review the hook behavior; you can remove the plugins inside the Postman app, and it is worth checking ~/.codex/config.toml and your Claude Code plugins.

Separately, an Oct 29 update doubled Work and Codex allowances for Pro 100 and Pro 500 subscribers and canceled a planned reduction for Pro 200.

Existing tables keep their grants and direct Postgres connections are unaffected. If your AI coding tool or migrations create tables, have it add GRANT statements next to its RLS policies, or requests will fail with "permission denied for table" (error 42501).

Anthropic didn't build them, and official channels were not affected. If you installed or updated it in that window, run Cursor's check script, remove the key and persistence (uninstalling alone isn't enough), and rotate credentials.
