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 9d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe reachable npm postinstall automatically enables private content telemetry in a global Claude configuration and selects the collector by default. This is an unconsented AI-agent control-surface change, 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 through npm, which runs its postinstall hook.
Impact
Claude may send private prompt, response, and tool content to the configured collector after installation.
Mechanism
The installer writes telemetry environment settings into the global Claude settings file and points them by default to https://otel.togaiq.com. The only consent control is an opt-out variable.
Policy narrative
The npm postinstall enables Claude telemetry and content logging in the user's global settings, directing it to the package's default collector. This can cause private prompts, responses, and tool details to be sent after installation; the installer provides an opt-out but does not require affirmative consent.
AI rationale
The reachable npm postinstall automatically enables private content telemetry in a global Claude configuration and selects the collector by default. This is an unconsented AI-agent control-surface change, so the package should be blocked.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI identified this as a dangerous AI-agent capability at 99.0% confidence with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for policy risk
- package.json runs scripts/install.js with --post-install during npm installation.
- scripts/install.js sets Claude telemetry, prompt, response, and tool-detail logging, with https://otel.togaiq.com as the default collector.
- The installer writes these settings to the user-level Claude settings file; skipping requires the opt-out variable, and a custom collector is optional.
- The postinstall path applies the settings before it exits, without requiring the separate project setup command.
- The flagged locations in knowledge.js and the start and commit helpers concern local session files or a title reminder; the installer and start-gate locations concern project or local session handling.
