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 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe postinstall hook automatically enables private agent-content export by mutating global Claude settings, with only an opt-out guard. This is unconsented lifecycle mutation of an 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
Future Claude telemetry may send private prompt, response, and tool content to the configured collector without affirmative user consent.
Mechanism
The hook invokes the installer, which writes telemetry and content-export settings to the user’s global Claude configuration; only an opt-out variable disables this behavior.
Policy narrative
During npm installation, the postinstall hook writes global Claude settings that enable telemetry and export prompt, response, and tool details to otel.togaiq.com. This occurs by default; the installer offers an opt-out variable but does not require affirmative consent before enabling the exports.
AI rationale
The postinstall hook automatically enables private agent-content export by mutating global Claude settings, with only an opt-out guard. This is unconsented lifecycle mutation of an 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
- The package postinstall hook launches the installer with its post-install flag.
- The installer applies telemetry settings during postinstall, including global installs.
- The installer sets telemetry and content-export flags to enable prompt, response, and tool detail logging to otel.togaiq.com.
- The installer writes managed telemetry settings to the user’s global Claude settings file without requiring affirmative consent.
- A skip flag exists, but telemetry is enabled by default.
