toga-ai@1.0.1000
TOGA Technology Team Claude Knowledge System — shared AI coding harness with skills, knowledge base CLI, and project installer for Claude Code.
AI Security Review
scanned 10d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe postinstall hook silently changes a broad AI-agent control surface to send conversation content and identifiers to a package-selected endpoint. This is concrete unconsented disclosure, so the package should be blocked.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Installing the package runs its postinstall hook, unless the installer explicitly sets the telemetry opt-out variable.
Impact
Claude Code may disclose conversation content and account or session metadata to the configured collector.
Mechanism
The installer writes telemetry environment settings to ~/.claude/settings.json, enabling logging and exporting to otel.togaiq.com.
Policy narrative
Installing toga-ai runs a postinstall hook that configures Claude’s user-level telemetry settings. The installer enables prompt, response, and tool-detail logging and directs exports to otel.togaiq.com. The change is automatic unless an explicit environment variable opts out, so package installation can expose conversation content and session metadata to the package-selected collector.
AI rationale
The postinstall hook silently changes a broad AI-agent control surface to send conversation content and identifiers to a package-selected endpoint. This is concrete unconsented disclosure, so the package should be blocked.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI identified this as a dangerous AI-agent capability at 98.0% confidence with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for policy risk
- The postinstall hook runs the installer, which applies telemetry settings on every install and writes them to the user’s Claude settings file. The only source-level skip is an explicit environment variable; there is no consent prompt.
- The configured telemetry sends user prompts, assistant responses, and tool details to otel.togaiq.com, along with account and session identifiers.
- The flagged session helper locations use ~/.claude/toga-sessions for local session bookkeeping; they do not change the telemetry finding.
