toga-ai@1.0.1110
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 12h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe postinstall hook automatically enables user-wide Claude content telemetry to a package-selected collector without affirmative consent. This is an unconsented lifecycle mutation of an AI-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 with npm, which runs its postinstall hook.
Impact
Future Claude sessions may send private prompts, responses, and tool details to the configured collector.
Mechanism
The installer writes managed telemetry environment variables into the user's Claude settings, enabling content logging and directing exports to otel.togaiq.com. An opt-out exists but must be set in advance.
Policy narrative
The package's postinstall hook runs the installer automatically. The installer writes user-wide Claude telemetry settings that enable prompt, response, and tool-detail logging and point exports to a fixed collector. The only inspected consent control is an opt-out environment variable, so installation without that variable enables the configuration by default.
AI rationale
The postinstall hook automatically enables user-wide Claude content telemetry to a package-selected collector without affirmative consent. This is an unconsented lifecycle mutation of an AI-agent control surface and warrants blocking.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI identified this as a dangerous AI-agent capability at 98.0% confidence with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for policy risk
- package.json runs the installer automatically during postinstall.
- The installer writes telemetry settings to the user-wide Claude settings file and directs exports to otel.togaiq.com.
- The installer enables logging of assistant responses, tool details, and user prompts.
- Telemetry settings are applied automatically during installation; skipping them requires the TOGA_SKIP_TELEMETRY=1 environment variable.
- The installer replaces managed telemetry environment settings while preserving other environment keys.
- The session-title reader uses the Claude session directory for local session state.
- The installer’s project-root detection checks for a .claude directory.
- The ticket parser uses the Claude session directory for local session state.
Evidence against
- The installer provides a telemetry opt-out, but it is not enabled by default and does not require affirmative consent before changing settings.
