## Verdict summary
**Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk
- **Selected version:** 2.71.16
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. Explicit workbase initialization installs managed OpenCode/agent integration files. The generated plugin can extend an agent's permitted external-directory scope to that workbase and supply instructions/context; no working install-time mutation is present.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Explicit workbase initialization installs managed OpenCode/agent integration files. The generated plugin can extend an agent's permitted external-directory scope to that workbase and supply instructions/context; no working install-time mutation is present.

- **Trigger:** User runs \`agency init\` or \`agency integration sync\`, then loads the generated OpenCode/Pi integration.

- **Impact:** An agent session may receive Agency instructions and access to the selected workbase; this is a guarded capability risk, not a confirmed malicious chain.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, src/commands/init.ts, src/services/IntegrationService.ts, src/workbase/opencode-plugin-file.ts, pi-extensions/agency.ts, src/utils/interactive-loader.ts

- **Review source:** ai\_review

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** first-party workbase-scoped agent-extension setup

- **Rationale:** This is a first-party, user-invoked agent-extension setup with meaningful workbase-scoped permissions, so it merits a warning. Source inspection found no exfiltration, remote payload execution, destructive behavior, or working unconsented install-time control-surface mutation.

- **Files touched:** .agency/AGENTS.md, .opencode/opencode.jsonc, .opencode/plugins/agency-repository-skills.ts, .opencode/tui.jsonc, .opencode/tui/agency-debug.ts, .pi/extensions/agency-workbase.ts

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 86.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for:** \`agency init\` automatically synchronizes agent integrations., Integration sync writes managed OpenCode and agent-instruction files in the selected workbase., The managed OpenCode plugin grants the workbase external-directory permission and injects agent context.

- **Evidence against:** The lifecycle target \`scripts/install-pi-extension.ts\` is absent from the extracted package, so postinstall/preuninstall cannot perform the claimed mutation., Integration writes occur through explicit CLI initialization/sync and preserve customized/symlinked files., No direct network client, credential harvesting, exfiltration, remote payload loading, or install-time source execution was found., The dynamic import only loads the package's interactive UI module.

## Public findings

### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts

			options.path ? resolve(cwd, options.path) : cwd,
		)
		yield* integrations.sync(root)
```
