At Pi agent startup, that extension can add Agency workbase instructions to the agent prompt. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-22T00:08:04.121Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-22T00:09:02.994Z - **Download time:** 753 ms - **Static scan time:** 2316 ms - **AI review time:** 55801 ms - **Total time:** 58873 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** npm postinstall copies a packaged Pi extension into the user's Pi extension directory. At Pi agent startup, that extension can add Agency workbase instructions to the agent prompt. - **Trigger:** npm install, then a Pi agent session in an Agency workbase - **Impact:** Changes Pi agent behavior for Agency workbases; no confirmed exfiltration or remote execution. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-pi-extension.ts, pi-extensions/agency.ts, src/utils/interactive-loader.ts, src/usage-log.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-22T00:09:02.994Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install-time Pi extension deployment and prompt-context hook - **Rationale:** The package performs an unprompted first-party Pi extension installation and prompt augmentation, which warrants a warning under the lifecycle policy. Its scoped implementation and lack of concrete malicious behavior do not support a block. - **Files touched:** scripts/install-pi-extension.ts, pi-extensions/agency.ts, $HOME/.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 creates a home-directory Pi extension path and copies agency.ts there., Installed extension hooks Pi agent events and appends Agency context to its system prompt. - **Evidence against:** The lifecycle target is one named Agency extension, not a broad config rewrite., No source evidence of credential harvesting, network exfiltration, remote payload loading, or destructive behavior., Dynamic imports are local UI/preload loading; subprocesses support the user-invoked CLI. ## Public findings ### 1.
