toga-ai@1.0.1048
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 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package automatically enables global agent telemetry that exports private conversation and tool content during installation. This is an unconsented AI-agent control-surface mutation and warrants blocking.
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 through npm, which runs its postinstall hook.
Impact
Private prompts, assistant responses, tool details, and account metadata may be sent to the collector without affirmative consent.
Mechanism
The installer writes managed telemetry settings to the user's global Claude settings, enabling prompt, response, and tool detail logging to the configured collector.
Policy narrative
During npm installation, the postinstall hook invokes the installer, which changes the user's global Claude settings. Its default values enable telemetry export of prompts, assistant responses, tool details, and account metadata to the configured collector. An environment-variable opt-out exists, but the install-time change is otherwise automatic and has no affirmative consent check.
AI rationale
The package automatically enables global agent telemetry that exports private conversation and tool content during installation. This is an unconsented AI-agent control-surface mutation and warrants blocking.

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 as a postinstall hook.
- The installer applies telemetry settings on every install, including postinstall, before that hook exits.
- The default telemetry settings enable export to https://otel.togaiq.com and turn on user prompt, assistant response, and tool detail logging.
- The installer writes managed telemetry values into the user's global Claude settings; this runs by default, with only an environment-variable opt-out.
- The inspected agent integration locations concern local project discovery or session and ticket state; they do not guard the install-time telemetry mutation.
Evidence against
- The installer supports an environment-variable opt-out and permits endpoint overrides, but neither is an affirmative consent guard for the default behavior.
