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 8d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The automatic postinstall changes global Claude Code settings to enable private content telemetry to a package-configured collector without affirmative consent. This is an unconsented AI-agent control-surface change.

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 Code may subsequently send private prompt, response, and tool content to the configured collector.

Mechanism

The installer writes telemetry and content-export settings into ~/.claude/settings.json without an affirmative consent prompt; an environment-variable opt-out is available.

Policy narrative

The npm postinstall changes the user's global Claude Code settings to enable export of prompts, assistant responses, and tool details to the package-configured collector. The change occurs automatically unless a specific opt-out environment variable is already set, enabling later disclosure of private agent content.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI identified this as a dangerous AI-agent capability at 99.0% confidence with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for policy risk

The package manifest runs scripts/install.js automatically during npm postinstall.
The installer enables prompt, assistant-response, and tool-detail telemetry with the default collector at https://otel.togaiq.com.
The telemetry writer targets the user's global ~/.claude/settings.json; it skips the change only when TOGA_SKIP_TELEMETRY=1 is set.
The installer writes the settings and calls the telemetry writer before the postinstall path exits.

4 * toga-ai — TOGA Technology Claude harness bootstrapper

5 *

6 * Design: the npm bundle is the PRIMARY source — it always works offline.

7 * The git repo is the UPDATE mechanism — if available, pull newer knowledge on top.

8 *

9 * 1. npm bundle (packageRoot) is always installed first — no git needed

10 * 2. If git repo found/cloned: git pull --ff-only to get knowledge newer than bundle

11 * 3. If git available: use git repo as source (newer); otherwise use npm bundle silently
