An explicit toga-ai command modifies a project's .claude configuration and installs automatic Claude hooks. The package postinstall hook only prints instructions and exits. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-31T19:36:37.757Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-31T19:37:27.505Z - **Download time:** 520 ms - **Static scan time:** 463 ms - **AI review time:** 48764 ms - **Total time:** 49748 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** An explicit toga-ai command modifies a project's .claude configuration and installs automatic Claude hooks. The package postinstall hook only prints instructions and exits. - **Trigger:** A user runs toga-ai or npx toga-ai from a project. - **Impact:** The configured hooks can influence later Claude sessions, including blocking tools and agent spawning during kickoff priming. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js, .claude/settings.json, scripts/hooks/kickoff-gate.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-31T19:37:27.505Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Project-level Claude hook and permission configuration installation. - **Rationale:** This is not malicious under the install-control policy because postinstall performs no mutation. It remains suspicious because an explicit command installs persistent, behavior-bearing Claude configuration into consumer projects. - **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json, .claude/hooks/toga/, .claude/skills/, .claude/agents/toga/, .claude/rules/toga/, CLAUDE.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The explicit toga-ai command installs skills, hooks, agents, rules, and settings into the current project's Claude configuration., The installer merges command hooks and a broad command permission list into the existing project settings., The installed kickoff hook can block Claude tools and agent spawning until its priming sequence completes. - **Evidence against:** The automatic postinstall path exits after printing setup instructions and does not modify the project., The manifest has no runtime dependency on another toga-ai release., The networked ClickUp and Talos helpers are separate user-invoked commands using supplied credentials; no install-time credential collection or exfiltration was found., No obfuscated payload, dynamic code execution, or destructive behavior was found in the inspected paths. ## Public findings ### 1.
