This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-31T15:58:28.895Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-31T15:59:32.685Z - **Download time:** 1010 ms - **Static scan time:** 910 ms - **AI review time:** 61868 ms - **Total time:** 63790 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Explicitly running the package CLI modifies a project's Claude configuration, installs persistent hooks, and grants broad command permissions. No automatic postinstall project mutation was confirmed. - **Trigger:** A user runs toga-ai or npx toga-ai from a project. - **Impact:** The installed agent environment can be constrained by package hooks and pre-authorized for broad Git, npm, and npx commands. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js, .claude/settings.json, scripts/hooks/kickoff-gate.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-31T15:59:32.685Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Project Claude hook installation and additive permission grants. - **Rationale:** This is an explicit-user-command AI-agent configuration mutator with broad permissions and persistent hooks. It warrants a warning, not a block, because the automatic lifecycle path exits before performing those changes and no malicious payload chain was found. - **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json, .claude/hooks/toga/, .claude/skills/, CLAUDE.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** The package registers an automatic postinstall launcher., Its user-invoked launcher copies hook programs into the target project's Claude directory and merges settings., The bundled settings add broad npm, npx, Git, and package-script Bash permissions., An installed hook injects instructions that block normal agent tools until its own priming flow completes. - **Evidence against:** The postinstall path exits before modifying a project; installation alone only prints setup guidance., There are no runtime dependencies or self-dependencies., The ClickUp and Talos network helpers require explicit invocation and supplied credentials. ## Public findings ### 1.

High: External Ai Agent Control Surface Mutation - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Path:** scripts/install.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Runtime or CLI source writes behavior-bearing configuration into a user or project AI-agent control surface. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript Runtime or CLI code links a write operation to an explicit external AI-agent control path: owledge base team knowledge lives in \`.claude/knowledge/\`. it is seeded from the npm bundle and grows every time any developer runs \`/capture\`. - search it: \`node .claude/knowledge.js search --q="payments"\` - validate it: \`node .claude/knowledge.js validate\` - re-index it: \`node .claude/knowledge.js index\` every time you edit a file inside \`.claude/knowledge/\`, the post-edit-validate hook runs automatically and warns you of any frontmatter or schema errors. --- ### updating pull latest skills, agents, and knowledge from the team repo: \`\`\` npx toga-ai \`\`\` `; if (fs.existssync(claudemdpath)) { const existing = fs.readfilesync(claudemdpath, 'utf8'); if (existing.includ ``` ### 9.
