@togglhq/cli@1.13.104
Toggl CLI for Toggl 2.0 API operations.
AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe CLI sends default-on usage telemetry, including command names, actions, outcomes, and a session identifier, to PostHog without disclosure in the README. The flagged GitHub credential flow uses the token for GitHub API requests, and the source does not substantiate the scanner’s command-output exfiltration claim.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running the toggl CLI; initialization occurs before command parsing.
Impact
Toggl receives usage and session data without the CLI README disclosing the collection; this is a telemetry concern, not evidence of credential theft or command-output exfiltration.
Mechanism
The CLI sends tool and action names, outcomes, session ID, package version, and categorized errors to the PostHog collector. An environment variable or API key setting disables analytics.
AI rationale

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The CLI starts telemetry automatically when invoked.
- Product analytics is enabled by default and can be disabled with TOGGL_PRODUCT_ANALYTICS=0/false/off or an API key set to off.
- The analytics event includes tool name, action, outcome, session ID, and package version; error events also include an error category.
- The package sends these events to the PostHog collector at eu.i.posthog.com.
- The GitHub token flow in the bundled skills dependency sends the token to api.github.com for repository tree requests.
Evidence against
- The manifest declares no lifecycle scripts, so this telemetry is not triggered during installation.
- The event capture code explicitly excludes command arguments and results.
- The dependency’s GitHub token use is for GitHub API requests, its own service.
