The extension conditionally augments Pi agent context from an Agency workbase; no exfiltration or remote payload path was confirmed. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-21T07:21:43.986Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-21T07:22:54.711Z - **Download time:** 757 ms - **Static scan time:** 2441 ms - **AI review time:** 67523 ms - **Total time:** 70725 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** npm postinstall installs a global Pi extension at the user home. The extension conditionally augments Pi agent context from an Agency workbase; no exfiltration or remote payload path was confirmed. - **Trigger:** npm install, followed by Pi agent startup in an Agency workbase - **Impact:** Creates a persistent user-wide AI-agent extension with project-controlled instruction and skill discovery. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-pi-extension.ts, pi-extensions/agency.ts, src/commands/integration.ts, src/services/IntegrationService.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-21T07:22:54.711Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** first-party Pi extension installation and prompt/skill context injection - **Rationale:** Not confirmed malicious, but automatic installation of a persistent global agent extension that injects project-controlled instructions warrants a warning. The behavior matches a first-party package-owned agent-extension lifecycle risk rather than a block-worthy malicious chain. - **Files touched:** pi-extensions/agency.ts, $HOME/.pi/agent/extensions/agency.ts, \/.agency/AGENTS.md, \/.claude/skills, \/.agents/skills, \/.opencode/skills, \/.pi/skills ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** postinstall copies a bundled extension into the user-wide Pi agent extension directory., The installed extension reads workbase AGENTS.md and appends it to Pi's system prompt., The extension discovers and exposes skills from several agent-tool directories. - **Evidence against:** Extension activation requires an Agency workbase and validated context., No credential harvesting, HTTP client, or data-exfiltration path was found in inspected source., Uninstall removes only the specific agency.ts extension; other agent integrations require explicit sync. ## Public findings ### 1.
