API Spector private runner: monitor internal/local APIs the cloud cannot reach, with no inbound connections.
AI Security Review
scanned 13d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the executable requires an explicitly configured service URL and token. Its inspected network behavior exchanges monitor work and results with that configured service, so the scanner signals do not establish an attack.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running the api-spector-agent command with APP_URL and an agent or runtime token configured.
Impact
The inspected behavior supports the package's private-runner function; no unrelated credential transfer or file mutation was identified.
Mechanism
The runner polls APP_URL for due monitors and posts their results to that same configured service.
AI rationale
The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the executable requires an explicitly configured service URL and token. Its inspected network behavior exchanges monitor work and results with that configured service, so the scanner signals do not establish an attack.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 95.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json exposes dist/index.cjs as the command and main entrypoint; the manifest has no lifecycle scripts.
- The agent requires APP_URL and an agent or runtime token, then polls that configured service for monitor work.
- Results are sent to APP_URL and contain monitor response data, matching the private-runner function described in the package manifest.
