Postman accused of silently auto-installing AI plugins
Original: Postman silently auto-installs AI plugins and attempts to share all API data

The report has drawn strong reactions from developers concerned about privacy, trust and telemetry in widely used development tools, with many saying they are reviewing their Postman setups or considering alternatives.
Why now: Developers are alarmed by claims that a core API tool may share sensitive API data without explicit consent
