I am not working with h-extensions myself, but the docs 
(https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+13+Configuration_cdr) say something like this:

|endbeforehexten| 
<https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+13+Configuration_cdr#Asterisk13Configuration_cdr-general_endbeforehexten>

	

|Boolean|

	

|1|

	

|false|

	

Don't produce CDRs while executing hangup logic


This would indicate that at least writing is disabled.
