API Spector private runner: monitor internal/local APIs the cloud cannot reach, with no inbound connections.
AI Security Review
scanned 16d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected entrypoint requires an explicitly configured application address and token, then polls and reports monitoring results to that same address. The network activity and reported data are consistent with the package’s private monitoring agent function; no concrete attack surface was found.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Starting the agent with APP_URL and an agent or runtime token configured.
Impact
Monitoring results are sent to the configured application as part of the agent’s stated function; no unrelated recipient or attack behavior was established.
Mechanism
It polls the configured application for due monitors, runs them, and posts their results to that application.
AI rationale

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes the bundle as the agent executable and main entrypoint.
- The agent reads its app address and authentication tokens from environment variables.
- It sends the token to the configured app address when polling for monitor work and posting results.
- Polling requires the configured app address and an agent or runtime token.
- Reported fields are monitoring status, response details, and request details.
