Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## 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:** 3.18.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The automatic postinstall performs first-party Pi extension setup, which warrants a warning under the agent integration policy. The inspected source does not establish malicious behavior or a concrete attack surface. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-11T07:06:20.681Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-11T07:07:04.337Z - **Download time:** 2833 ms - **Static scan time:** 13843 ms - **AI review time:** 26976 ms - **Total time:** 43656 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Postinstall installs the package's own Pi agent extension in the user's home directory. This is a first-party agent extension setup; the inspected source does not establish a concrete attack. - **Trigger:** Installing the package with npm runs its postinstall hook. - **Impact:** The extension may be loaded by the user's Pi agent. The reviewed installer does not show credential access, exfiltration, or broad agent configuration changes. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-pi-extension.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T07:07:04.337Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook copies the bundled extension to the user's Pi agent extensions directory and records ownership; existing unowned or changed files are skipped. - **Rationale:** The automatic postinstall performs first-party Pi extension setup, which warrants a warning under the agent integration policy. The inspected source does not establish malicious behavior or a concrete attack surface. - **Files touched:** ~/.pi/agent/extensions/agency.ts, ~/.pi/agent/extensions/agency.ts.agency-managed.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package runs an extension installer automatically from its postinstall lifecycle hook., The installer copies the package-owned extension into the user's Pi agent extensions directory., It skips an existing extension unless its ownership marker and content digest match; uninstall removes only a matching managed extension., The inspected integration path identifies project-local Agency and OpenCode configuration locations., The flagged process and review services use subprocesses for general process work and Git operations; the inspected snippets show no credential collection or exfiltration. - **Evidence against:** The lifecycle hook installs a first-party agent extension without a separate prompt in the installer source. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @markjaquith/agency@3.18.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @markjaquith/agency@3.18.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
