xSemaphoreTake in a critical section

Is there a way to set a hook or similar to report when an illegal action is performed inside of a critical section?

I assume by “illegal action” you mean calling a FreeRTOS API with non-zero block time. If yes, there is no assert to catch this as of now. Critical sections should be few and should be very short and deterministic and therefore, grepping for taskENTER_CRITICAL and reviewing the code can be a viable way to catch such violations.
