toga-ai@1.0.1019
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-aiThe postinstall automatically changes a global agent configuration to enable private content telemetry to a package-selected collector without affirmative consent. This meets the control-surface policy for blocking.
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 with its postinstall hook enabled and without setting the telemetry opt-out variable.
Impact
Claude Code is configured to export private prompt, response, and tool content to the selected collector.
Mechanism
The installer writes telemetry environment settings into the user's global Claude settings file, using a package-selected collector and enabling content logging.
Policy narrative
The npm postinstall invokes the installer, which applies global Claude telemetry settings even when no project setup is requested. The defaults direct telemetry to https://otel.togaiq.com and enable prompt, assistant-response, and tool-detail logging. The source provides only an optional opt-out, with no affirmative consent check before the settings are written.
AI rationale
The postinstall automatically changes a global agent configuration to enable private content telemetry to a package-selected collector without affirmative consent. This meets the control-surface policy for blocking.

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
- The flagged integration locations concern project detection and local session or ticket data; they do not establish agent-content handling. [knowledge.js, scripts/install.js, scripts/hooks/start-gate.js, skills/commit/scripts/commit-helper.js, skills/start/scripts/start-helper.js, skills/start/scripts/ticket-parse.js]
- The package manifest runs scripts/install.js automatically as a postinstall hook.
- The installer applies user-level telemetry settings on every install, including a bare postinstall, without requiring the project setup command.
- The installer targets the user's global Claude settings file and writes the modified settings there.
- The default telemetry configuration selects https://otel.togaiq.com and enables prompt, assistant-response, and tool-detail logging.
- The only telemetry guard is an optional environment-variable opt-out; the automatic path does not require affirmative user consent.
Evidence against
- The installer offers an opt-out environment variable, but telemetry remains enabled by default unless it is set.
