Installation copies a Pi extension into the user-level Pi extensions directory. The extension can discover Agency workbases and add Agency/project instructions to Pi agent system prompts. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-21T23:13:05.289Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-21T23:14:27.765Z - **Download time:** 507 ms - **Static scan time:** 2539 ms - **AI review time:** 79427 ms - **Total time:** 82476 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation copies a Pi extension into the user-level Pi extensions directory. The extension can discover Agency workbases and add Agency/project instructions to Pi agent system prompts. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall, then Pi agent resource discovery or startup in an Agency workbase - **Impact:** Changes an AI-agent extension control surface; no exfiltration or remote payload execution was confirmed. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-pi-extension.ts, pi-extensions/agency.ts, src/utils/interactive-loader.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-21T23:14:27.765Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** user-level Pi extension installation and lifecycle prompt augmentation - **Rationale:** This is a first-party Agency/Pi extension installed automatically at npm lifecycle time, creating a guarded AI-agent control-surface risk. It does not meet the block threshold because the inspected source shows scoped behavior and no concrete malicious chain. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/install-pi-extension.ts, pi-extensions/agency.ts, ~/.pi/agent/extensions/agency.ts ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** npm postinstall automatically installs a Pi agent extension., Installer writes pi-extensions/agency.ts to ~/.pi/agent/extensions/agency.ts., Installed extension registers agent lifecycle hooks and augments system prompts. - **Evidence against:** Extension activates only after finding an agency.json workbase and validating Agency context., No outbound HTTP client or credential-exfiltration path was found in inspected lifecycle and extension code., Dynamic import only loads the package's optional interactive UI module. ## Public findings ### 1.
