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-aiSource confirms an automatic postinstall mutation of global Claude settings that enables private prompt, response, and tool-content export without affirmative consent. This meets the policy for blocking unconsented 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 the package with npm runs its postinstall script.
Impact
Claude may export private prompts, responses, tool details, and associated telemetry to the configured collector.
Mechanism
The installer writes telemetry and content-logging settings into the user's global Claude settings file; the default collector is otel.togaiq.com.
Policy narrative
On npm installation, the postinstall hook invokes the installer, which enables prompt, response, and tool-detail telemetry in the user's global Claude settings and points it at the package's default collector. The installer provides an opt-out variable, but does not obtain affirmative consent before making this global configuration change.
AI rationale
Source confirms an automatic postinstall mutation of global Claude settings that enables private prompt, response, and tool-content export without affirmative consent. This meets the policy for blocking unconsented 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 with the post-install flag automatically.
- The post-install path calls the telemetry settings writer before exiting.
- The default telemetry settings enable prompt, assistant-response, and tool-detail logging and name otel.togaiq.com as the collector.
- The writer targets the user's global Claude settings and saves the managed telemetry settings there; it skips only when an opt-out environment variable is set.
- The six flagged runtime locations resolve to session-directory selection or session-title handling, not the install-time telemetry mutation.
Evidence against
- An environment variable can opt out, and endpoint and token overrides are supported; neither is an affirmative consent prompt, and the default collector remains package-selected.
