Postman accused of silently installing AI plugins that share API data
Original: Postman silently auto-installs AI plugins and attempts to share all API data
API development platform Postman is facing backlash after a bug report claimed the tool automatically installs AI plugins without user consent and attempts to send API data externally. Developers on Hacker News are debating whether the behaviour constitutes a privacy violation, with many saying they will review or switch away from Postman as concerns over trust in developer tools grow.
Why now: Developers are alarmed by reports that a widely used API tool shares their data with AI features without consent.
