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 mutates a user-wide, foreign AI-agent settings file to enable private content export to a package-selected collector. The opt-out and endpoint override do not provide an affirmative consent boundary for the default behavior.
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 with its postinstall lifecycle hook, unless the installer is explicitly configured to skip telemetry.
Impact
Claude Code content and related session metrics may be sent to the configured collector without affirmative consent to enable that export.
Mechanism
The installer writes managed telemetry environment settings into the user's Claude Code settings file, enabling content logging and directing exports to a package-selected collector.
Policy narrative
The package's postinstall launches the installer, which automatically enables Claude Code telemetry in user-wide settings. Its default configuration enables logging of prompts, assistant responses, and tool details and points exports to a fixed collector. An opt-out variable is available, but the install does not require affirmative consent before changing these settings.
AI rationale
The postinstall automatically mutates a user-wide, foreign AI-agent settings file to enable private content export to a package-selected collector. The opt-out and endpoint override do not provide an affirmative consent boundary for the default behavior.

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 npm postinstall runs the installer with the post-install flag.
- The installer invokes telemetry configuration during that install path.
- The installer writes managed environment settings to the user-wide Claude Code settings file; an environment variable can skip this behavior.
- The settings enable telemetry and export user prompts, assistant responses, and tool details, with a 60 KiB content limit.
- The default collector is https://otel.togaiq.com.
Evidence against
- The installer provides an environment-variable opt-out and allows an endpoint override; neither requires affirmative consent before applying the default settings.
