A user-run installer adds TOGA hook commands and permissions to the current project's Claude configuration. Those hooks govern common Claude events and can block agent actions. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-31T16:49:31.122Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-31T16:50:22.393Z - **Download time:** 773 ms - **Static scan time:** 553 ms - **AI review time:** 49928 ms - **Total time:** 51271 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** A user-run installer adds TOGA hook commands and permissions to the current project's Claude configuration. Those hooks govern common Claude events and can block agent actions. - **Trigger:** Running toga-ai from a project after installation. - **Impact:** The package can constrain and steer the AI agent's workflow in that project. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js, .claude/settings.json, scripts/hooks/kickoff-gate.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-31T16:50:22.393Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Project-level Claude hook and settings injection. - **Rationale:** This is a first-party, user-invoked Claude extension setup rather than unconsented install-time mutation. Its broad project-level agent controls create a real lifecycle risk, but source inspection found no exfiltration, remote payload execution, or self-dependency chain. - **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json, .claude/hooks/toga/, CLAUDE.md, .claude/knowledge.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** The package defines an automatic postinstall entry point., Its user-invoked installer copies package hooks into a project and merges Claude settings., The installed settings attach package commands to prompt, tool-use, session, and stop events., The kickoff hook writes state and blocks Claude tools and agent spawning until its own gate is satisfied. - **Evidence against:** The postinstall path exits before selecting or modifying a project., No self-dependency or hidden payload loader is present., Networked ClickUp and Talos helpers are explicit CLI tools using user-supplied credentials. ## Public findings ### 1.
