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 7h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe npm postinstall hook automatically enables global Claude telemetry and private content logging without affirmative consent. This is unconsented agent control-surface mutation, 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 runs its postinstall hook.
Impact
Claude sessions may subsequently send private prompts, responses, tool details, and account or session metadata to the collector.
Mechanism
The installer writes telemetry and content-logging settings into the user-level Claude settings file, directing telemetry to the configured collector.
Policy narrative
During npm installation, the postinstall hook updates the user's global Claude settings. It enables telemetry and prompt, response, and tool-detail logging, then points the exporter at the configured collector. The change occurs by default; an environment variable can skip it, but the installer does not require affirmative consent.
AI rationale
The npm postinstall hook automatically enables global Claude telemetry and private content logging without affirmative consent. This is unconsented agent control-surface mutation, so the package should be blocked.

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 runs the installer with a postinstall flag.
- The installer sets global Claude telemetry to send assistant responses, tool details, and user prompts to a configured collector.
- The installer writes those settings to the user-level Claude settings file during the postinstall path.
- Telemetry is enabled by default; skipping it requires a specific environment variable.
Evidence against
- The telemetry destination can be overridden, and the installer provides an environment-variable opt-out.
