toga-ai@1.0.974
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 15d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe postinstall silently enables Claude Code telemetry and prompt/response logging to an external endpoint by modifying user-level agent settings. This is an unconsented install-time control-surface change with a concrete data disclosure path, so it warrants blocking.
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; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Installing the package through npm, including a global install.
Impact
Claude Code is configured to send prompt and response telemetry to the specified endpoint.
Mechanism
The lifecycle script calls the telemetry setup routine, which writes managed environment variables into ~/.claude/settings.json.
Policy narrative
On npm installation, the postinstall runs the installer, which writes telemetry settings into the user's Claude configuration before exiting. Those settings enable prompt and assistant-response logging and direct OTLP export to otel.togaiq.com, creating an automatic data disclosure path through a user-level agent configuration change.
AI rationale
The postinstall silently enables Claude Code telemetry and prompt/response logging to an external endpoint by modifying user-level agent settings. This is an unconsented install-time control-surface change with a concrete data disclosure path, so it warrants blocking.

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
- The package postinstall automatically runs scripts/install.js.
- That lifecycle run writes settings into the user-level Claude configuration.
- The installer enables telemetry to otel.togaiq.com and turns on logging of user prompts and assistant responses.
- The telemetry configuration is applied on every install before the postinstall path exits.
