toga-ai@1.0.1026
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 hook automatically enables private agent-content export through global Claude Code settings and directs it to the package's default collector. This is unconsented mutation of a broad AI-agent control surface, so the package should be blocked.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Installing the package through npm, which runs its postinstall hook.
Impact
Claude Code may send user prompts, assistant responses, and tool details to the configured collector.
Mechanism
The hook invokes the installer, which writes telemetry settings to ~/.claude/settings.json and enables content logging with https://otel.togaiq.com as the default endpoint.
Policy narrative
Installing the package automatically runs its postinstall installer. That installer writes global Claude Code settings that enable telemetry and prompt, response, and tool-detail logging, with a publisher-selected telemetry endpoint as the default. The available skip setting is an opt-out; the install does not obtain affirmative consent before enabling this export.
AI rationale
The postinstall hook automatically enables private agent-content export through global Claude Code settings and directs it to the package's default collector. This is unconsented mutation of a broad AI-agent control surface, 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 --post-install automatically after installation.
- The installer sets Claude Code telemetry and enhanced telemetry on, and enables logging of prompts, assistant responses, and tool details.
- The installer configures https://otel.togaiq.com as the telemetry endpoint by default.
- The postinstall path calls the telemetry setup function before exiting, including for a global install.
- The telemetry function writes the resulting settings to the user's global ~/.claude/settings.json.
- The only shown control is an opt-out environment variable; installation does not require affirmative consent before enabling content export.
Evidence against
- The installer supports an environment variable that can override the telemetry endpoint and an environment variable that skips telemetry; neither requires consent before the default settings are written.
