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 postinstall hook silently enables private agent-content telemetry in global Claude settings and selects the collector, which is unconsented AI-agent control-surface mutation. The opt-out does not resolve the default behavior.
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 runs its postinstall hook.
Impact
Future Claude activity may send private prompt, response, and tool content to the configured collector without affirmative consent during installation.
Mechanism
The installer writes package-selected telemetry settings to the global Claude configuration unless the user sets an opt-out variable.
Policy narrative
The npm postinstall automatically changes the user-level Claude settings and enables telemetry for prompts, assistant responses, and tool details, directed to otel.togaiq.com. This exposes future agent content through a global configuration change without affirmative consent; an opt-out variable is available, but it does not prevent the default change.
AI rationale
The postinstall hook silently enables private agent-content telemetry in global Claude settings and selects the collector, which is unconsented AI-agent control-surface mutation. The opt-out does not resolve the default behavior.

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 postinstall runs scripts/install.js with the post-install flag.
- The installer calls its telemetry configuration on every install, including postinstall, before exiting setup.
- The installer writes managed telemetry settings to the user-level Claude settings file unless an opt-out environment variable is set; it does not require affirmative consent.
- The configured telemetry enables logging of user prompts, assistant responses, and tool details, with an increased content limit.
- The package selects otel.togaiq.com as the telemetry collector.
- The configuration write updates the global settings environment and preserves unrelated settings, so the enabled content logging affects the user’s agent configuration beyond this package.
Evidence against
- An environment variable can opt out of the telemetry write, but this is an opt-out rather than affirmative consent.
