That extension can augment Pi prompts and expose workbase-local skills when an Agency workbase is active; no network or credential-exfiltration path was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-21T23:13:05.052Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-21T23:14:30.281Z - **Download time:** 765 ms - **Static scan time:** 2516 ms - **AI review time:** 81946 ms - **Total time:** 85229 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** npm postinstall installs a package-owned Pi agent extension in the user's Pi extension directory. That extension can augment Pi prompts and expose workbase-local skills when an Agency workbase is active; no network or credential-exfiltration path was found. - **Trigger:** npm install, then a Pi agent session in an Agency workbase - **Impact:** Changes Pi agent behavior for Agency workbases without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-pi-extension.ts, pi-extensions/agency.ts, src/services/IntegrationService.ts, src/workbase/opencode-plugin-file.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-21T23:14:30.281Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** automatic Pi extension installation and prompt/skill integration - **Rationale:** The package is not demonstrably malicious, but its postinstall mutates an AI-agent extension surface and changes agent prompts automatically. Per policy, this first-party extension setup warrants a warning rather than a block. - **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 runs the Pi extension installer., Installer copies a packaged extension to ~/.pi/agent/extensions/agency.ts., Extension runs before Pi agent start and appends Agency/workbase instructions to the system prompt. - **Evidence against:** No fetch/network client, credential harvesting, or exfiltration was found in inspected lifecycle and extension code., The extension invokes only the local agency CLI and gates behavior on a discovered Agency workbase., Uninstall removes only its own named extension file. ## Public findings ### 1.
