toga-ai@1.0.1016

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-ai

The postinstall hook automatically enables global Claude Code telemetry that includes private agent content and identifying metadata. The opt-out does not provide affirmative consent, meeting the policy threshold for an AI-agent control hijack.

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 toga-ai through npm runs its postinstall hook.

Impact

Claude Code may export private prompts, responses, tool details, and account or session identifiers through telemetry.

Mechanism

The installer writes telemetry settings into ~/.claude/settings.json, enabling content logging and directing telemetry to the configured collector.

Policy narrative

During npm installation, the package updates the user's global Claude Code settings to enable prompt, response, and tool-detail telemetry for its collector. The change is automatic unless the installer receives an opt-out environment variable, so private agent content may be exported when Claude Code uses those settings.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI identified this as a dangerous AI-agent capability at 98.0% confidence with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for policy risk

package.json runs scripts/install.js --post-install, and that postinstall path applies telemetry settings on every install.
scripts/install.js writes managed settings to the user's global ~/.claude/settings.json and enables prompt, assistant-response, tool-detail, account, and session logging to https://otel.togaiq.com.
The only shown guard skips telemetry changes when TOGA_SKIP_TELEMETRY=1; the postinstall path does not require affirmative consent.
The other flagged locations concern local session data or project .claude directory discovery; they do not establish another data transfer.
