On npm postinstall, the package copies its Pi extension to ~/.pi/agent/extensions/agency.ts, a globally loaded Pi location. The extension is guarded to Agency workbases but can augment Pi agent prompts there. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-22T16:44:24.525Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-22T16:45:21.086Z - **Download time:** 758 ms - **Static scan time:** 2910 ms - **AI review time:** 52890 ms - **Total time:** 56561 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** On npm postinstall, the package copies its Pi extension to ~/.pi/agent/extensions/agency.ts, a globally loaded Pi location. The extension is guarded to Agency workbases but can augment Pi agent prompts there. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall followed by Pi activity in a directory with agency.json - **Impact:** Changes an AI-agent control surface without an explicit setup command; no exfiltration or remote payload chain was found. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-pi-extension.ts, pi-extensions/agency.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-22T16:45:21.086Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** global Pi extension installation and guarded prompt augmentation - **Rationale:** This is a real install-time AI-agent extension mutation, but it is a package-owned, guarded integration rather than a concrete malicious chain. It warrants a warning under the lifecycle control-surface policy, not a publish block. - **Files touched:** 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:** postinstall invokes the Pi extension installer., Installer copies package code into the global Pi extension directory., The installed extension modifies Pi agent system prompts in Agency workbases. - **Evidence against:** Extension activation requires a discovered agency.json workbase., Context checks reject invalid workbases and inactive targets., Lifecycle script contains no network, credential collection, or remote payload execution., Uninstall removes the same extension path. ## Public findings ### 1.
