toga-ai@1.0.1033
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 agent-content export in user-level settings without affirmative consent. This is an unconsented lifecycle mutation of an AI-agent control surface.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Installing the package runs its postinstall hook.
Impact
Claude Code sessions using those settings can send prompts, responses, and tool details to the collector.
Mechanism
The installer writes telemetry export settings into the user's Claude settings, with an opt-out but no affirmative consent prompt.
Policy narrative
During package installation, the postinstall hook runs an installer that changes the user's global Claude settings. It enables export of prompt, assistant response, and tool detail content to the Toga collector. The installer offers an opt-out flag, but does not ask for affirmative consent before changing the settings.
AI rationale
The postinstall hook automatically enables private agent-content export in user-level settings without affirmative consent. This is an unconsented lifecycle mutation of an AI-agent control surface.

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 package runs its installer automatically through the postinstall hook.
- The installer applies telemetry settings before it exits the postinstall path.
- It writes managed telemetry values into user-level Claude settings, replacing corresponding environment values.
- The defaults enable export of prompts, assistant responses, and tool details to the Toga collector.
- The available guard is an opt-out flag; the install path does not request affirmative consent.
