A postinstall hook places an Agency extension in the user's Pi agent extension directory. In a validated Agency workbase, that extension augments Pi's system prompt with local instructions. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-05T04:19:54.440Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-05T04:21:59.700Z - **Download time:** 512 ms - **Static scan time:** 1783 ms - **AI review time:** 122961 ms - **Total time:** 125260 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** A postinstall hook places an Agency extension in the user's Pi agent extension directory. In a validated Agency workbase, that extension augments Pi's system prompt with local instructions. - **Trigger:** npm installation, followed by starting Pi in an Agency workbase. - **Impact:** The package gains a persistent, package-owned agent extension that can influence Pi sessions in Agency workbases. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-pi-extension.ts, pi-extensions/agency.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-05T04:21:59.700Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic Pi extension installation and before-agent-start prompt augmentation. - **Rationale:** This is not confirmed malware, but an automatic install-time agent-extension setup merits a warning. The extension is scoped to Agency workbases and no concrete data theft or remote execution chain was found. - **Files touched:** pi-extensions/agency.ts, ~/.pi/agent/extensions/agency.ts, .agency/AGENTS.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Installation automatically runs a script that installs a Pi agent extension., The install script copies the package extension into the user's Pi agent extensions directory., The installed extension runs before agent start and replaces the system prompt with added workbase instructions. - **Evidence against:** The extension is package-owned and has guards requiring a valid Agency workbase context., No credential harvesting, secret exfiltration, remote payload download, or self-dependency was found., No fixed network endpoint is used by the install hook or extension. ## Public findings ### 1.
