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 automatically enables private Claude content telemetry in global user settings and directs it to a fixed collector without affirmative consent. This is an unconsented lifecycle change to an AI agent’s control surface.
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
Claude may transmit private prompt, response, and tool content along with account and session identifiers to the configured collector.
Mechanism
The installer writes managed telemetry environment settings into ~/.claude/settings.json, pointing exports to a fixed collector. The only consent boundary shown is an opt-out environment variable.
Policy narrative
Installing the package runs its postinstall installer. The installer enables Claude telemetry in the user-wide settings file, including prompt, assistant response, and tool detail logging, and directs exports to a fixed collector. It applies these settings without affirmative consent; skipping the change requires a specific environment variable.
AI rationale
The postinstall hook automatically enables private Claude content telemetry in global user settings and directs it to a fixed collector without affirmative consent. This is an unconsented lifecycle change to an AI agent’s control surface.

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 automatically runs the installer.
- The installer configures Claude telemetry to send user prompts, assistant responses, and tool details to a fixed collector.
- The installer writes those settings to the user-wide Claude settings file and applies them without affirmative consent; an environment variable provides only an opt-out.
- The telemetry settings are applied during the installer’s postinstall execution path.
