toga-ai@1.0.1071
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-aiSource confirms that npm postinstall automatically changes global Claude settings to enable private content telemetry to a fixed collector. The opt-out does not provide affirmative consent, so this is an unconsented agent control-surface change.
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
Claude Code is configured to disclose private prompt, response, and tool details to the configured collector during later use.
Mechanism
The installer writes managed telemetry settings to ~/.claude/settings.json; a Toga-specific environment variable can opt out.
Policy narrative
The npm postinstall hook runs the installer, which writes global Claude settings that enable prompt, assistant response, and tool detail telemetry to a fixed collector. The installer proceeds without affirmative consent; it offers only an opt-out. This creates deferred disclosure through the agent's telemetry behavior.
AI rationale
Source confirms that npm postinstall automatically changes global Claude settings to enable private content telemetry to a fixed collector. The opt-out does not provide affirmative consent, so this is an unconsented agent control-surface change.

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 its postinstall flag.
- The installer enables telemetry and directs it to https://otel.togaiq.com.
- The configured telemetry includes user prompts, assistant responses, and tool details.
- During postinstall, the installer writes these settings to the user's global Claude settings; the only guard is an opt-out.
