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 automatic postinstall modifies a global AI agent configuration to enable private content export to a package-selected collector without affirmative consent. This is an unconsented AI agent control surface change 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
Later Claude telemetry may disclose private prompts, responses, and tool details to the configured collector.
Mechanism
The hook writes enabled telemetry settings and a package-selected collector endpoint into the user's global Claude settings file; the default behavior is active unless an opt-out variable is set.
Policy narrative
An npm install automatically runs the package installer. In postinstall mode, it enables Claude telemetry and prompt, response, and tool detail logging, then writes those settings to the user's global Claude configuration. The default collector is selected by the package, and the change requires an opt-out rather than affirmative consent.
AI rationale
The automatic postinstall modifies a global AI agent configuration to enable private content export to a package-selected collector without affirmative consent. This is an unconsented AI agent control surface change 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 in postinstall mode.
- That mode calls the telemetry settings writer before it exits.
- The writer sets telemetry on and enables export of prompts, assistant responses, and tool details to otel.togaiq.com.
- The installer writes these managed values to the user's global Claude settings file.
- The only shown guard is an opt-out environment variable; telemetry is enabled by default.
Evidence against
- The installer preserves unrelated settings and offers TOGA_SKIP_TELEMETRY=1, but neither provides affirmative consent before the automatic change.
