What it actually did when run

observed

Loaded in a sandbox with no network, a read-only filesystem and a recording stand-in for pi's API. This is what it called — not what the source suggests it might.

Events subscribed tool_call

APIs called events.emitregisterCommandui.select

1 call the source scan did not predict

events.emit

Reached through a value the scan could not follow — passed as an argument, stored on another object, or returned by a helper.

Run against version 1.4.0 on 2026-08-02. Registration-time behaviour under default settings; other configurations may differ.
