At Pi runtime it modifies session resources and prompts only when an Agency workbase is detected; no malicious exfiltration or remote payload chain was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-21T07:19:14.046Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-21T07:20:07.449Z - **Download time:** 1006 ms - **Static scan time:** 2364 ms - **AI review time:** 50030 ms - **Total time:** 53403 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** npm postinstall installs a first-party Agency Pi extension globally. At Pi runtime it modifies session resources and prompts only when an Agency workbase is detected; no malicious exfiltration or remote payload chain was found. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall, then a Pi session launched within an Agency workbase - **Impact:** Changes a global AI-agent extension control surface without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-pi-extension.ts, pi-extensions/agency.ts, src/utils/interactive-loader.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-21T07:20:07.449Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** global first-party Pi extension installation and scoped prompt/resource hooks - **Rationale:** This is a guarded first-party global AI-agent extension installed at postinstall, creating a real lifecycle control-surface risk. Its behavior is package-aligned and source lacks a concrete malicious chain. - **Files touched:** ~/.pi/agent/extensions/agency.ts, .agency/AGENTS.md, .claude/skills, .agents/skills, .opencode/skill, .opencode/skills, .pi/skills ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall copies a global Pi extension to ~/.pi/agent/extensions/agency.ts., The extension registers Pi resource and prompt-start hooks. - **Evidence against:** Lifecycle code has no network, credential, or environment harvesting behavior., The extension activates only below a directory containing agency.json and calls the local agency CLI., Prompt additions read only the workbase .agency/AGENTS.md and expose scoped workbase context., preuninstall removes only the same agency.ts extension path., Dynamic imports are fixed package modules/preload, not remote or computed payloads. ## Public findings ### 1.
