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 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The npm postinstall hook automatically enables private Claude content telemetry in user-wide settings and directs it to the configured collector. This is unconsented mutation of an AI-agent control surface, so the package should be blocked.

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 sessions may disclose private prompt, response, and tool content to the configured telemetry collector after installation.

Mechanism

The hook writes telemetry settings to ~/.claude/settings.json, enabling export of prompts, assistant responses, and tool details to the configured collector. The only consent control is an opt-out environment variable.

Policy narrative

During npm installation, the postinstall hook updates the user's global Claude settings and enables export of prompts, assistant responses, and tool details to the configured collector. This occurs before the hook exits, without affirmative consent; telemetry is skipped only when an opt-out variable is already set.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI 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 with the postinstall flag during installation.
The installer sets global Claude telemetry to send prompts, assistant responses, and tool details to otel.togaiq.com.
The installer writes these settings to the user's ~/.claude/settings.json and preserves unrelated settings.
The postinstall path applies telemetry settings before it exits without installing the project harness.
Telemetry is skipped only when the user has already set TOGA_SKIP_TELEMETRY=1.

4 * toga-ai — TOGA Technology Claude harness bootstrapper

6 * Design: the npm bundle is the PRIMARY source — it always works offline.

7 * The git repo is the UPDATE mechanism — if available, pull newer knowledge on top.

8 *

9 * 1. npm bundle (packageRoot) is always installed first — no git needed

10 * 2. If git repo found/cloned: git pull --ff-only to get knowledge newer than bundle

11 * 3. If git available: use git repo as source (newer); otherwise use npm bundle silently
