Yes, in the mastercam help file there is a list of the chooks supplied with mastercam and their functionality. Search Chooks in the help file then select Chooks and Nethooks :: Chooks provided with mastercam . Here is the mastercam 2018 list.

Input utilities 
DXFRescuer  Loads and converts non-standard DXF data from AutoCad® files
 
Digitize  Enters points, lines, and splines from a digitizer
 
Machine Probe to Points  Converts 3D (XYZ), 5D (XYZ AB), or 8D (XYZ AB UVW) probe center data into splines. Used for reverse engineering of machine probe position data.
 
Wireframe geometry 
Arc MultiEdit  Resizes multiple arcs simultaneously
 
Asphere  Creates the geometry for an aspherical lens
 
BreakCircles  Breaks full circles into smaller arcs
 
DrillPt  Draws point entities at the center points of your arcs
 
FindOverlap C-Hook  Finds and deletes overlapping entities
 
Fplot  Plots a mathematical function
 
Gear  Creates one tooth or all teeth of an involute spur or internal gear
 
GridPock  Fills a pocket with points or circles or draws points along its boundary
 
Hole Table Parameters  Creates a table which categorizes, counts, and labels holes or circles
 
MedialAxis  Generates geometry on the medial axis of a closed pocket boundary
 
Points to Circles  Creates circles around all selected Points
 
PullUp Parameters  Repositions nodes of a parametric spline in positive Z direction
 
Sort Circles  Sorts all full circles in the part by size and plane
 
Sprocket 
 Creates the geometry for a sprocket
 
Please Select a Font 
 Creates single lines of text on lines, curves, and other geometric entities
 
WholeSpline 
 Converts a trimmed spline into an untrimmed spline of the same shape
 
vHelix 
 Creates a helix with a variable pitch
 
zSpiral 
 Creates a spiral with a specific height and diameter
 
Surfaces and solids 
ConsToSpline 
 Converts surface curves to parametric splines
 
CoonsSurf 
 Creates a surface from a grid of curves, called a Coons surface
 
CreateBoundary 
 Creates a 2D or 3D boundary curve around a set of surfaces or around the theoretical machined area for specific tool sizes
 
CreateFillets 
 Creates fillets at surface and solids intersections
 
FlattenSurf 
 Produces a planar surface from a 3-dimensional non-planar surface
 
Map 
 Maps a surface curve from one surface to another
 
Rev2Rev 
 Converts a surface to a new surface based on a specified number of U/V patches
 
STLHeal 
 Repairs gaps in an STL file
 
Toolpath utilities 
AgieReg 
 Provides data entry for AgieVision controls
 
Arc3D 
 Converts linear moves into 2D or 3D arcs
 
Automatic Toolpathing (ATP) Add-on 
 A NET-Hook that imports part files and automatically assigns toolpaths to the geometry and nests the toolpaths. This is typically used for cabinet applications
 
Comp3D 
 Adds surface compensation vectors to 3-axis surface toolpaths to support machine controls that have 3D tool compensation
 
Rolldie 
 Creates toolpaths around a rotary axis
 
Swept2r 
 Adds roughing passes and a choice of one-way/zig-zag cutting to a swept 2D toolpath
 
ThreadC 
 Creates a thread on a selected chain 
 
Tool holders 
Checkholder 
 Tests tool holder against part geometry for clearance
 
Multiaxis toolpaths 
Focus5ax 
 Modifies the tool axis of a 5-axis toolpath so that it points through either a line or a single point
 
Posts, machine definitions, control definitions 
MpbinX Utility 
 Encrypts all or part of a post as a binary post
 
Update Post  Upgrades post processors from Version 9 or earlier to work with Mastercam. Optionally creates machine and control definitions from earlier posts
 
Steady Rest Component Boundaries 
 Defines the boundaries for an existing steady rest machine component for lathe machine definitions
 
MD_CD_PST_Rename 
 Renames the post processor, machine definition, and control definition
 
Screen and views 
BlankDuplicates 
 Locates duplicate entities and blanks them, instead of deleting them
 
Metafile 
 Saves the contents of the graphics window to a .EMF file
 
Support utilities 
Control Definition Compare 
 Compares two control definitions (or their post text) and highlights the differences
 
Zip2Go 
 Gathers and compresses the open (current) Mastercam part data into a .z2g file. This file can then be opened and viewed with most zip/unzip programs such as WinZip™. Use Zip2Go when you need to transfer a part file to a technical support contact.
