The manifest declares postinstall setup for a globally loaded Pi extension. The shipped extension augments Pi prompts only after it detects an Agency workbase; the installer implementation is absent. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-21T07:19:14.507Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-21T07:20:15.105Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 2394 ms - **AI review time:** 57690 ms - **Total time:** 60598 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The manifest declares postinstall setup for a globally loaded Pi extension. The shipped extension augments Pi prompts only after it detects an Agency workbase; the installer implementation is absent. - **Trigger:** npm installation; then a Pi agent starts inside an Agency workbase. - **Impact:** Can influence Pi agent context and expose configured checkout skill paths within Agency workbases; no exfiltration or remote payload chain is established. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, README.md, pi-extensions/agency.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-21T07:20:15.105Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** global Pi extension registration and workbase-scoped prompt/resource injection - **Rationale:** This is not concrete malware, but an install-time global AI-agent extension is a meaningful control-surface risk. Downgrade to warn under the extension lifecycle policy. - **Files touched:** package.json, README.md, pi-extensions/agency.ts, ~/.pi/agent/extensions/agency.ts ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall invokes a Pi-extension installer., Documentation says the extension is installed globally without project trust., The Pi extension injects Agency workbase instructions before an agent starts. - **Evidence against:** The referenced scripts/install-pi-extension.ts is absent from this package artifact, so its write behavior cannot be established., Extension handlers return outside a detected Agency workbase., No direct HTTP client or credential-exfiltration code was found in non-test TypeScript source., Dynamic import only loads the package's interactive UI dependency. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.
