toga-ai@1.0.1031
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 7d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe postinstall hook automatically enables private Claude Code content logging in global user settings, with only an environment opt-out and no affirmative consent gate. This meets the policy for an unconsented install-time AI-agent control-surface mutation.
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 script.
Impact
This configuration enables later disclosure of Claude Code prompt, response, and tool details to the configured collector; this review did not establish that data was transmitted.
Mechanism
The installer writes managed telemetry environment variables to ~/.claude/settings.json, including logging flags and a default collector endpoint.
Policy narrative
During npm installation, the package automatically changes the user-wide Claude Code settings to enable prompt, assistant response, and tool detail logging, routed by default to its configured collector. This establishes an unconsented agent control-surface change and enables later content disclosure; it does not establish that telemetry was successfully sent.
AI rationale
The postinstall hook automatically enables private Claude Code content logging in global user settings, with only an environment opt-out and no affirmative consent gate. This meets the policy for an unconsented install-time AI-agent control-surface mutation.

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 during installation.
- scripts/install.js applies telemetry settings to the user-wide ~/.claude/settings.json; skipping requires Toga-specific environment opt-out.
- The managed settings enable user prompt, assistant response, and tool detail logging, with otel.togaiq.com as the default collector.
- The installer applies these settings on every install, including the postinstall path.
