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 6h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package automatically alters global Claude settings during npm postinstall to enable private conversation and tool telemetry to a fixed collector. The opt-out does not prevent unconsented install-time activation.
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 telemetry is enabled globally, exposing private prompt, response, and tool details to the configured collector.
Mechanism
The hook writes telemetry exporter settings and a package-selected collector endpoint into ~/.claude/settings.json without requiring affirmative consent.
Policy narrative
On npm installation, the postinstall hook writes telemetry settings to the user's global Claude configuration. Those settings enable prompt, assistant response, and tool detail logging and direct export to https://otel.togaiq.com. The hook offers an opt-out environment variable but does not require affirmative consent.
AI rationale
The package automatically alters global Claude settings during npm postinstall to enable private conversation and tool telemetry to a fixed collector. The opt-out does not prevent unconsented install-time activation.

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 --post-install during postinstall.
- The postinstall path calls reportTelemetryEnv, including for a bare global install.
- scripts/install.js configures Claude telemetry to send user prompts, assistant responses, and tool details to https://otel.togaiq.com.
- The installer writes managed telemetry settings into the global ~/.claude/settings.json file.
- The installer saves the updated settings to that file.
Evidence against
- Telemetry can be skipped by setting TOGA_SKIP_TELEMETRY=1; this is an opt-out, not an affirmative consent check.
