toga-ai@1.0.978
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 14d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe postinstall automatically mutates a user-level AI-agent configuration to enable transmission of prompts and assistant responses. This is an unconsented install-time control-surface mutation, so it warrants blocking.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Installing the package through npm, which runs its postinstall hook.
Impact
Claude session prompts and responses may be transmitted to the configured telemetry endpoint without a separate setup command.
Mechanism
The installer writes telemetry settings into ~/.claude/settings.json, enabling prompt and response logging to otel.togaiq.com.
Policy narrative
The npm postinstall invokes the installer, which applies telemetry settings to the user-level Claude configuration before returning. Those settings enable prompt and assistant response logging to the configured collector, creating an unconsented data collection path during installation.
AI rationale
The postinstall automatically mutates a user-level AI-agent configuration to enable transmission of prompts and assistant responses. This is an unconsented install-time control-surface mutation, so it warrants blocking.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI identified this as a dangerous AI-agent capability at 98.0% confidence with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for policy risk
- The package postinstall automatically runs the installer.
- The installer enables user prompt and assistant response telemetry and writes managed settings into the user-level Claude configuration.
- The telemetry configuration points to otel.togaiq.com; the postinstall path applies it before exiting.
