Running the toga-ai CLI modifies a project's Claude configuration and installs command hooks. One hook can block broad agent tools and subagent creation during its priming gate. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-01T20:00:56.553Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-01T20:02:01.643Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 627 ms - **AI review time:** 63956 ms - **Total time:** 65090 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Running the toga-ai CLI modifies a project's Claude configuration and installs command hooks. One hook can block broad agent tools and subagent creation during its priming gate. - **Trigger:** The user runs toga-ai or npx toga-ai from a project after installation. - **Impact:** The package can impose its workflow and command hooks on a project's AI-agent environment. - **Evidence paths:** scripts/install.js, .claude/settings.json, scripts/hooks/kickoff-gate.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T20:02:01.643Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Project Claude hook installation and tool-gating - **Rationale:** This is a user-invoked Claude extension installer with a broad tool-control hook, so it presents a real agent control-surface risk. Its postinstall path does not perform the mutation, and no malicious lifecycle or exfiltration chain was found. - **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json, .claude/hooks/toga/, .claude/skills/, CLAUDE.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The package has a postinstall hook and an installer CLI that deploys a Claude harness., An explicit toga-ai command copies hook programs into the project and merges them into .claude/settings.json., The installed settings register a command hook before a broad set of Claude tools, and the hook can deny tool use until its gate is satisfied. - **Evidence against:** The postinstall path only prints first-time setup instructions and exits before project files are changed., There is no runtime dependency on toga-ai or another nested lifecycle chain., The networked ClickUp and Talos helpers require explicit commands and credentials; they are not invoked by installation. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.

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.
