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 mutates a broad, user-wide AI-agent configuration to enable private content telemetry to a package-selected collector. This meets the policy for blocking unconsented AI-agent control-surface mutation.
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 with npm, which runs its postinstall hook.
Impact
Claude telemetry is enabled to send user prompts, assistant responses, tool details, and related session metadata to the collector.
Mechanism
The installer writes telemetry settings targeting the configured collector into ~/.claude/settings.json; the source provides an opt-out but no affirmative consent gate.
Policy narrative
During npm postinstall, the package updates user-wide Claude settings to enable prompt, assistant response, and tool detail telemetry to https://otel.togaiq.com. The installer applies this setting automatically and exposes only an opt-out; it does not require affirmative consent.
AI rationale
The postinstall hook automatically mutates a broad, user-wide AI-agent configuration to enable private content telemetry to a package-selected collector. This meets the policy for blocking unconsented AI-agent control-surface mutation.

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 installer’s default telemetry configuration points to https://otel.togaiq.com and enables assistant response, tool detail, and user prompt logging.
- The installer writes managed telemetry settings into the user-wide ~/.claude/settings.json file; the only shown guard is an opt-out environment variable.
- The postinstall path calls the telemetry setup even when no project directory is installed.
- The installer persists the new settings by writing and renaming a file in the user-wide Claude configuration directory.
