toga-ai@1.0.1097
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 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe postinstall hook automatically enables private agent-content telemetry by mutating global Claude settings without affirmative consent. This meets the policy for blocking an unconsented lifecycle change to a foreign AI-agent control surface.
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 may send prompt, response, and tool content, along with account and session metadata, to the configured telemetry collector.
Mechanism
The hook invokes the installer, which writes managed telemetry environment variables into the user’s global Claude settings. A skip variable can opt out, but consent is not required by default.
Policy narrative
During npm postinstall, the installer changes the user’s global Claude settings to enable telemetry of prompts, assistant responses, and tool details. It configures a collector and offers only an opt-out. This is an automatic, unconsented change to an AI agent’s control surface.
AI rationale
The postinstall hook automatically enables private agent-content telemetry by mutating global Claude settings without affirmative consent. This meets the policy for blocking an unconsented lifecycle change to a foreign AI-agent control surface.

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 manifest runs the installer automatically during postinstall.
- The installer applies telemetry settings on every install, including postinstall, without an affirmative consent check.
- The installer writes global Claude settings that enable prompt, assistant response, and tool detail logging, and direct telemetry to the configured collector. The skip variable is an opt-out.
- The installer writes the managed telemetry settings into the user’s global Claude settings file.
