API Spector private runner: monitor internal/local APIs the cloud cannot reach, with no inbound connections.
AI Security Review
scanned 9d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest exposes a CLI with no install lifecycle hook. Inspection shows environment-configured service authentication and result reporting consistent with the package’s private monitoring runner, with no confirmed unrelated credential transfer or attack behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
The operator runs the CLI with a service URL and authentication token configured.
Impact
Monitoring data is returned to the operator-configured service; no unrelated recipient or confirmed attack behavior was established.
Mechanism
The CLI polls that service for monitors, runs their requests, and posts results back to the same configured service.
AI rationale
The manifest exposes a CLI with no install lifecycle hook. Inspection shows environment-configured service authentication and result reporting consistent with the package’s private monitoring runner, with no confirmed unrelated credential transfer or attack behavior.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json points to dist/index.cjs and defines no lifecycle script.
- The CLI reads its service URL and authentication token from environment variables and uses the token in requests to that configured service.
- The agent polls for monitors and posts their results, including response and sent request details, to the configured service; this is consistent with its private-runner function.
