## 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:** 2.71.25
- **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. Installation copies a first-party Agency extension into Pi's user extension directory. The extension conditionally exposes project skill paths and adds Agency context to Pi agent sessions in Agency workbases; no exfiltration or remote payload path was found.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installation copies a first-party Agency extension into Pi's user extension directory. The extension conditionally exposes project skill paths and adds Agency context to Pi agent sessions in Agency workbases; no exfiltration or remote payload path was found.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall, then a Pi agent session opened within an Agency workbase.

- **Impact:** Changes Pi agent behavior for Agency workbases and grants those sessions project-directed context.

- **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:** 2026-08-21T07:22:58.434Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** global Pi extension installation with conditional agent prompt/resource hooks

- **Rationale:** The automatic global Pi extension write warrants a warning under the lifecycle policy, but the extension is package-aligned and conditionally scoped to Agency workbases. No concrete malicious chain was established.

- **Files touched:** scripts/install-pi-extension.ts, pi-extensions/agency.ts, ~/.pi/agent/extensions/agency.ts

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** postinstall automatically invokes the Pi extension installer., Installer copies agency.ts into the user Pi extension directory., Installed extension registers agent-start hooks and appends Agency workbase context.

- **Evidence against:** Extension activates only after finding an agency.json workbase., No network request or credential-exfiltration code was found in inspected source., OpenCode integration writes are behind the explicit \`agency integration sync\` command.
