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 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package automatically modifies global Claude Code settings during npm postinstall to enable telemetry that exports private prompt, response, and tool content. This is unconsented mutation of an AI-agent control surface 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
Subsequent Claude Code telemetry can disclose user prompts, assistant responses, and tool details to the collector.
Mechanism
The hook writes telemetry and content-logging settings into ~/.claude/settings.json without an affirmative consent step.
Policy narrative
During npm postinstall, the package enables Claude Code telemetry and content logging in the user's global settings, then exits. This defers collection to Claude Code, but the setting change itself is automatic and affects a global agent configuration. The opt-out requires prior environment configuration and does not provide affirmative consent.
AI rationale
The package automatically modifies global Claude Code settings during npm postinstall to enable telemetry that exports private prompt, response, and tool content. This is unconsented mutation of an AI-agent control surface 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 automatically during npm postinstall.
- scripts/install.js configures telemetry before the postinstall path exits.
- The installer sets the telemetry endpoint to https://otel.togaiq.com.
- It enables export of user prompts, assistant responses, and tool details.
- It writes managed telemetry settings to the global ~/.claude/settings.json; only the TOGA_SKIP_TELEMETRY=1 flag skips this change.
- The hinted integration locations handle session files or project-root discovery, separate from the telemetry mutation.
Evidence against
- The installer preserves unrelated settings and provides an environment-variable opt-out; neither requires affirmative consent before enabling telemetry.
