Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. This is a first-party Helios/Pi agent. On install it copies a native sqlite prebuild, and the published package registers bundled extensions and skills. At runtime those extensions can start a detached daemon, start Docker Memgraph, and globally install the Pi coding-agent package. Native binaries and the size of the tree also leave dual-use agent capability that static review cannot fully close. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 74.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-18T05:42:44.197Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-18T05:51:44.488Z - **Download time:** 4048 ms - **Static scan time:** 21374 ms - **AI review time:** 514869 ms - **Total time:** 540291 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

On install it copies a native sqlite prebuild, and the published package registers bundled extensions and skills. At runtime those extensions can start a detached daemon, start Docker Memgraph, and globally install the Pi coding-agent package. Native binaries and the size of the tree also leave dual-use agent capability that static review cannot fully close. - **Trigger:** npm install runs postinstall; running helios or a Pi session loads bundled extensions; upgrade, daemon, and Memgraph paths run from those session and CLI actions. - **Impact:** A consumer who installs this agent gets Helios-owned extensions, optional background daemon and graph-database startup, and a path that can change the globally installed Pi CLI. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.cjs, bin/helios.js, extensions/upgrade-reviewer.ts, extensions/memgraph-autostart.ts, daemon/daemon-manager.js, daemon/lib/wizard-engine.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-18T05:51:44.488Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** first-party Pi extension registration with install-time native copy and runtime daemon, Docker, and global npm control - **Rationale:** This is a first-party Helios agent that registers its own Pi extensions and can start daemons, Docker, and global npm upgrades, so it stays a warn-level agent-extension risk. Inspected install and scanner-hot files do not show a foreign-agent hijack or a nested self-install malware chain. - **Files touched:** postinstall.cjs, prebuilds/, better-sqlite3/build/Release/better\_sqlite3.node, extensions/, skills/, daemon/helios-company-daemon.js, daemon/daemon.pid - **Network endpoints:** https://raw.githubusercontent.com/helios-agi/pi-mono/main/packages/coding-agent/CHANGELOG.md, https://github.com/helios-agi/helios-team-installer/releases/latest/download, http://localhost:9093 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 74.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Install runs node postinstall.cjs, and the manifest registers ./extensions and ./skills as first-party Pi agent surfaces., postinstall.cjs copies a bundled better\_sqlite3.node prebuild into the better-sqlite3 release directory., The helios CLI injects this package's extensions and skills into the packaged Pi CLI., The upgrade-reviewer extension runs a global npm install of @helios-agent/pi-coding-agent., memgraph-autostart starts or creates a Docker Memgraph container when a session starts., daemon-manager spawns a detached Helios daemon, and wizard-engine bootstraps a seven-agent company. - **Evidence against:** postinstall does not write Claude, Cursor, or other foreign agent configs; it only prepares a sqlite native binding inside node\_modules., package.json does not depend on another release of @cgh567/agent, so the nested self-install block rule does not apply., backfill-dashboard.js only prints an npm install hint and then spawns local tsx for a user-run backfill UI., lib/triage-core/types.ts is ordinary triage type aliases; no bidi or invisible trojan-source characters were found., Gmail, Slack, GitHub, and related hosts match the stated Helios inbox and coding-agent product., Upgrade, daemon, and Memgraph actions run from Helios or Pi session and CLI paths, not from unconsented third-party agent mutation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @cgh567/agent@2.6.31. - Review the evidence and your use of @cgh567/agent@2.6.31 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
