## 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:** 2.71.5
- **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 is configured to invoke a Pi-extension installer, but that installer is not present in the package archive. The bundled extension can alter Pi agent context only when Pi loads it in a discovered Agency workbase.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installation is configured to invoke a Pi-extension installer, but that installer is not present in the package archive. The bundled extension can alter Pi agent context only when Pi loads it in a discovered Agency workbase.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall; subsequently, Pi agent startup in an Agency workbase

- **Impact:** Potential agent-extension lifecycle risk; no verified install-time write, network exfiltration, or remote payload execution.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, pi-extensions/agency.ts, scripts/install-pi-extension.ts

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-21T07:20:18.531Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** first-party Pi extension hook and prompt/skill-path injection

- **Rationale:** A postinstall intended to install a first-party agent extension warrants a warning under the lifecycle policy, but the archive lacks the installer and source inspection found no concrete exfiltration, destructive action, or remote payload execution.

- **Files touched:** package.json, pi-extensions/agency.ts

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 78.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for:** package.json declares an npm postinstall invoking a Pi-extension installer., The bundled Pi extension registers resource discovery and agent-start hooks., When loaded, it injects Agency workbase instructions into Pi system prompts.

- **Evidence against:** The referenced scripts/install-pi-extension.ts is absent from this extracted package, so its install-time writes cannot be verified., No direct HTTP/network API, eval/vm use, credential harvesting, or exfiltration was found in non-test TypeScript source., The extension gates behavior on discovering an Agency workbase and valid context.

## Public findings

### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@markjaquith/agency@2.71.5/package.json>)

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](<https://unpkg.com/@markjaquith/agency@2.71.5/package.json>)

- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 80.0%

Package declares lifecycle scripts that are not normally run for registry tarball installs.

### 4. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 5. Medium: Dynamic Require
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%
- **Path:** src/utils/interactive-loader.ts
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@markjaquith/agency@2.71.5/src/utils/interactive-loader.ts>)

Package source references dynamic require/import behavior.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```typescript
L3: const preload = ["@opentui", "solid", "preload"].join("/")
L4: await import(preload)
L5: return import("./interactive")
```

### 6. Medium: Network
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references network APIs.

### 7. Medium: Environment Vars
- **Category:** Source

- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 70.0%

Package source references filesystem APIs.

### 9. Low: High Entropy Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 55.0%

Package source contains high-entropy string patterns.

### 10. 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/commands/context.test.ts
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@markjaquith/agency@2.71.5/src/commands/context.test.ts>)

This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```typescript
matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta
matchedPackage = @markjaquith/agency@2.71.1
matchedIdentity = npm:QG1hcmtqYXF1aXRoL2FnZW5jeQ:2.71.1
similarity = 0.942
summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file
```
