Installing the package automatically copies its Pi integration into the user's global Pi extension directory. That extension can alter Pi prompts only when Pi invokes its guarded Agency workbase handlers. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-05T03:43:18.913Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-05T03:44:09.431Z - **Download time:** 253 ms - **Static scan time:** 2887 ms - **AI review time:** 47375 ms - **Total time:** 50518 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package automatically copies its Pi integration into the user's global Pi extension directory. That extension can alter Pi prompts only when Pi invokes its guarded Agency workbase handlers. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall followed by a Pi agent session in an Agency workbase - **Impact:** A package-owned extension gains Pi lifecycle access without an explicit setup command; no exfiltration or remote execution was found. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-pi-extension.ts, pi-extensions/agency.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-05T03:44:09.431Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic global Pi extension installation and prompt augmentation - **Rationale:** This is first-party package-owned agent extension setup performed automatically at install time. It warrants a warning, but the inspected source does not establish malicious behavior. - **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:** The postinstall hook automatically installs a Pi agent extension., The installer creates and overwrites a global Pi extension path in the user home directory., The installed extension adds project instructions to Pi agent system prompts and discovers agent skill directories. - **Evidence against:** The lifecycle installer only copies the package's visible TypeScript extension; it has no network, shell, or payload-download behavior., Removal occurs only in preuninstall., No self-dependency, credential collection, or secret exfiltration was found., The dynamic import only resolves a local UI preload dependency. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = bun scripts/install-pi-extension.ts install ``` ### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 75.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review.

Low: Url Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 65.0% Package source contains URL literals. ### 11. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 90.0% Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean. ### 12. High: Semantic Analysis Limited - **Category:** Scanner Coverage - **Confidence:** 100.0% - **Path:** fixtures/protocol/error.json - **Public source:** [View source]() A bounded semantic-analysis stage reached its safety limit; remaining detectors completed, but this package requires AI review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json stage = ast_semantic_analysis; reason = ast_parse_error; limitedFiles = 6 ``` ### 13. High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** src/utils/process.ts - **Public source:** [View source]() This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review.
