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 manifest has no install-time hooks, and the executable’s network activity is tied to a required, operator-configured cloud URL and token. Sending monitor request and response data to that configured service is consistent with the private runner’s function; the scanner’s suspicious signals do not establish a separate attack.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
The operator starts the CLI with APP_URL and an agent token configured.
Impact
Monitoring request and response data are sent to the operator-configured service as part of the package’s stated function; no separate malicious transfer behavior was established.
Mechanism
The agent polls the configured service for due checks, runs them, and posts their results to that service.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 96.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json exposes dist/index.cjs as the package entrypoint and CLI; it declares no lifecycle hooks.
- The agent reads its cloud URL and authentication token from environment variables, then polls that configured service.
- It posts monitor results, including request and response headers and bodies, to the configured cloud service as part of its runner workflow.
- The executable requires the cloud URL and an agent token before starting; no fixed credential recipient or hidden installation trigger was identified.
