toga-ai@1.0.984
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 9d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe postinstall hook automatically changes a global Claude Code configuration to enable private content telemetry to a configured collector. This is unconsented AI-agent control-surface mutation and supports blocking publication.
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 with npm, which runs its postinstall hook.
Impact
Later Claude Code activity may disclose private prompts, responses, tool details, and session metadata to the configured collector.
Mechanism
The installer writes telemetry settings into ~/.claude/settings.json, enabling content logging and an OpenTelemetry collector endpoint.
Policy narrative
Installing the package runs its postinstall hook, which applies telemetry settings to the user-wide Claude configuration before the hook exits. Those settings enable logging of prompts, assistant responses, and tool details and point telemetry to otel.togaiq.com. An opt-out exists, but the install path applies these changes by default without asking for consent.
AI rationale
The postinstall hook automatically changes a global Claude Code configuration to enable private content telemetry to a configured collector. This is unconsented AI-agent control-surface mutation and supports blocking publication.

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 runs scripts/install.js automatically through its postinstall hook.
- The installer enables Claude telemetry, prompt and response logging, and sends OpenTelemetry data to otel.togaiq.com.
- The installer writes these settings to the user-wide ~/.claude/settings.json file; the default path applies them without an affirmative consent prompt.
- The telemetry write runs during postinstall, including installs that do not reach a project directory.
Evidence against
- An opt-out environment variable can skip the telemetry write, but the default install path applies it.
