On npm installation, the package installs a bundled Agency extension into Pi's global extension directory. That extension invokes the Agency CLI and can add Agency workbase instructions to Pi sessions. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-21T07:21:44.450Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-21T07:22:52.194Z - **Download time:** 507 ms - **Static scan time:** 2233 ms - **AI review time:** 65001 ms - **Total time:** 67744 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** On npm installation, the package installs a bundled Agency extension into Pi's global extension directory. That extension invokes the Agency CLI and can add Agency workbase instructions to Pi sessions. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** Changes an AI-agent platform's extension surface without an explicit Agency command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-pi-extension.ts, pi-extensions/agency.ts, src/commands/integration.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-21T07:22:52.194Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** global Pi extension installation and runtime prompt augmentation - **Rationale:** This is a concrete automatic first-party AI-agent extension installation, so it warrants a lifecycle-risk warning. The inspected source limits it to the fixed Agency Pi extension and shows no malicious data or network behavior. - **Files touched:** pi-extensions/agency.ts, $HOME/.pi/agent/extensions/agency.ts ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall automatically runs the Pi-extension installer., Installer copies a bundled extension into the user's global Pi extension directory., The installed extension runs agency context and augments Pi agent prompts. - **Evidence against:** Lifecycle code has no network or credential collection., The copied filename is fixed as agency.ts and uninstall removes that same file., Package import entrypoints only export modules; no import-time installer., Other agent-integration writes require explicit agency integration sync. ## 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. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = bun scripts/install-pi-extension.ts install ``` ### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 75.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review.

Low: Url Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 65.0% Package source contains URL literals. ### 11. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 90.0% Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean. ### 12. High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** src/cli.test.ts - **Public source:** [View source]() This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review.
