API Spector private runner: monitor internal/local APIs the cloud cannot reach, with no inbound connections.
AI Security Review
scanned 22d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected entrypoint and runtime behavior match a configured private monitoring agent. VM and network primitives are used for monitor expressions, scripts, and communication with the configured service; no unrelated recipient or attack behavior was found.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user invokes the command-line agent with APP_URL and an agent or runtime token configured.
Impact
No harmful behavior was confirmed; the observed network activity supports the package’s monitoring function.
Mechanism
It fetches monitoring jobs from the configured host, executes their requests and scripts, then posts results to that host. Script execution uses a VM context with a timeout.
AI rationale
The inspected entrypoint and runtime behavior match a configured private monitoring agent. VM and network primitives are used for monitor expressions, scripts, and communication with the configured service; no unrelated recipient or attack behavior was found.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 96.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes dist/index.cjs as the command-line entrypoint and main module.
- The runner requires an APP_URL and caller-supplied agent or runtime token.
- The agent polls that configured host for monitoring jobs and posts results to the same host.
- Monitor scripts run in a VM context with a timeout; template expressions use a separate context containing dynamic variables.
