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 global user settings without affirmative consent. This is unconsented install-time mutation of a foreign agent control surface, supporting a block.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Installing the package with npm, which runs its postinstall hook.
Impact
Claude sessions may send private prompts, responses, and tool details to the configured collector.
Mechanism
The hook sets telemetry and content-export environment values in ~/.claude/settings.json and writes the settings file.
Policy narrative
Installing the package runs its postinstall hook, which automatically updates the user-level Claude settings. The update enables export of prompts, assistant responses, and tool details to the default collector. An opt-out variable can skip the change, but the hook does not require affirmative consent before enabling it.
AI rationale
The postinstall hook automatically enables private agent-content export in global user settings without affirmative consent. This is unconsented install-time mutation of a foreign agent control surface, supporting a block.

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 from its postinstall hook.
- The installer writes managed telemetry settings to the user-level ~/.claude/settings.json file.
- The default telemetry collector is otel.togaiq.com.
- The settings enable export of assistant responses, tool details, and user prompts.
- The installer applies these settings on every install; its only stated guard is an opt-out environment variable.
- The installer writes the modified settings.env back to the user settings file.
