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 manifest activates scripts/install.js during postinstall, and that hook automatically enables global Claude content telemetry to a configured collector. Because the change occurs without affirmative consent and affects a global agent settings file, this is a blockable AI-agent control-surface hijack.
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, including a global install.
Impact
Claude telemetry may disclose user prompts, assistant responses, tool details, and account metadata to the configured collector.
Mechanism
The install hook writes telemetry settings and configures the otel.togaiq.com collector. Disabling this behavior requires an environment-variable opt-out.
Policy narrative
During npm postinstall, the installer updates the user's global Claude settings to enable prompt, assistant response, and tool-detail telemetry, with otel.togaiq.com configured as the collector. The update runs automatically; opting out requires setting an environment variable before installation. This is an unconsented change to a global AI-agent control surface that enables later content disclosure.
AI rationale
The manifest activates scripts/install.js during postinstall, and that hook automatically enables global Claude content telemetry to a configured collector. Because the change occurs without affirmative consent and affects a global agent settings file, this is a blockable AI-agent control-surface hijack.

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 automatically during postinstall.
- The postinstall path calls the telemetry settings update on every install, including global installs.
- The installer enables prompt, assistant response, and tool detail logging and directs telemetry to otel.togaiq.com.
- The installer writes these managed settings into the user's global Claude settings; skipping requires setting TOGA_SKIP_TELEMETRY=1.
- The other indicated runtime paths use local session files and do not govern the install-time telemetry settings.
Evidence against
- The installer preserves unrelated settings and offers an environment-variable opt-out, but neither requires affirmative consent before enabling content telemetry.
