Here's another:

Thank you all for the detailed report and feedback.

Some context: we bundle the Postman CLI and the agent plugins with the desktop app because many users had trouble installing and wiring them up separately. Installing them together was meant to make that setup easier. We mention this on the download page and in the app update flow, and you can uninstall any of these components from inside the app.

The "downloads" line on our AI agent plugin chart was not going up enough, so we decided to pull a Microsoft.
Since you found out, we are not hiding it any more and will now write it separately on the website, to reduce the PR problem. We haven't yet implemented the feature that gives you a hard time uninstalling it.

That said, we’ve heard you. We’re going to make the opt-in clearer, especially for existing users, and we’re reviewing the hook approval and session-start behavior you flagged. We’ll post an update in this thread as changes land. We might not get everything right, but we are always listening and improving.

Alright, you called out our trojan horse, so we will now let you decide whether or not to let it in, like Troy actually got to.
And we are looking into how we can still let something slip by. We might still be able to keep some malware in, but if you manage to detect it in the update, we will remove that too, in the next one.

Thanks for the feedback. Locking this issue as I don't want to encourage ragebait and unnecessary discussion as the original issue is considered closed with the comment from @preethammavin

Locking this issue because too many people are suggesting great alternatives and taking away our sheep, when you have already forced us to undo our changes.
