@testsmith/api-spector-agent@0.7.3
API Spector private runner: monitor internal/local APIs the cloud cannot reach, with no inbound connections.
AI Security Review
scanned 29d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe bundle contains VM-based execution and network access, but the inspected code ties them to configured API monitoring and an operator-selected cloud endpoint. No concrete malicious behavior was established.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running the api-spector-agent CLI with APP_URL and an agent or runtime token configured.
Impact
No malicious impact was established from the inspected source; request execution is part of the monitor workflow.
Mechanism
The agent polls its configured cloud service for monitor definitions, runs the configured requests and scripts, and reports results to that service.
AI rationale
The bundle contains VM-based execution and network access, but the inspected code ties them to configured API monitoring and an operator-selected cloud endpoint. No concrete malicious behavior was established.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json exposes the bundled CLI as its executable and main entry point.
- The CLI uses operator-supplied APP_URL and tokens for its cloud connection.
- The bundle runs configured request scripts in a timed VM context as part of monitor execution.
Evidence against
- The inspected entry point polls monitor definitions from the configured cloud service and sends monitor results back there.
- The VM and dynamic execution support configured monitor scripts; inspection found no concrete attack behavior.
