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 and inspected entrypoint support the private monitoring purpose. Network destinations and credentials are supplied by the caller, and the suspicious VM and process-execution matches do not establish package-directed attack behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
The CLI starts when invoked with APP_URL and an AGENT_TOKEN or RUNTIME_TOKEN configured.
Impact
No confirmed attack surface was established; the observed network and script behavior matches the package’s monitoring function and requires caller-supplied configuration.
Mechanism
It polls the configured service for monitor jobs, runs their requests and test scripts, and posts results back to that service.
AI rationale
The manifest and inspected entrypoint support the private monitoring purpose. Network destinations and credentials are supplied by the caller, and the suspicious VM and process-execution matches do not establish package-directed attack behavior.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest describes a private runner for monitoring internal and local APIs, and points its CLI and module entry to dist/index.cjs.
- The runner requires caller-provided APP_URL and an AGENT_TOKEN or RUNTIME_TOKEN before polling begins.
- It polls for monitors and posts results to API paths under the configured APP_URL, using the configured token.
- Monitor scripts are run in a VM sandbox with a timeout as part of the runner’s request-testing flow.
