@togglhq/cli@1.13.116
Toggl CLI for Toggl 2.0 API operations.
AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe CLI enables runtime analytics and Sentry on startup without disclosure in its README, so this is suspicious telemetry under the review rules. The inspected analytics event properties are limited and do not include command arguments or results, and I found no evidence supporting the scanner’s alleged credential redirection or command-output exfiltration.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running the toggl CLI; telemetry can be disabled with TOGGL_PRODUCT_ANALYTICS=0/false/off.
Impact
Toggl analytics and error-reporting services receive CLI usage and diagnostic events without a user opt-in.
Mechanism
The CLI initializes product analytics and Sentry at startup. Product analytics posts allowlisted usage properties to PostHog; Sentry is initialized with a built-in Toggl DSN.
AI rationale
The CLI enables runtime analytics and Sentry on startup without disclosure in its README, so this is suspicious telemetry under the review rules. The inspected analytics event properties are limited and do not include command arguments or results, and I found no evidence supporting the scanner’s alleged credential redirection or command-output exfiltration.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The CLI starts telemetry automatically before parsing commands, and the package README does not disclose telemetry.
- Product analytics is on by default unless disabled with TOGGL_PRODUCT_ANALYTICS=0/false/off or its API key is set to off.
- Analytics sends command/tool names, action identifiers, outcome, and package version to the configured PostHog host.
- CLI startup also initializes Sentry with a built-in Toggl Sentry DSN.
Evidence against
- The package is a Toggl API CLI, and its manifest exposes a CLI entry point and library exports consistent with that purpose.
- Analytics uses an allowlist and does not include command arguments or results in its event properties.
- The skills installer is launched as a child process by an explicit setup action; no automatic launch was identified.
