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 has no install lifecycle hook, and the entrypoint’s network destination and authentication are supplied by the operator. Its polling and result submission match the private runner function; scanner signals in bundled dependencies do not establish malicious behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
The operator runs the api-spector-agent command with APP_URL and an authentication token configured.
Impact
The observed network activity supports the stated monitoring function; the inspected source does not establish an unrelated recipient or a package-controlled payload loader.
Mechanism
The runner polls the configured cloud for due monitors, executes their configured checks, and posts results to that cloud URL.
AI rationale
The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the entrypoint’s network destination and authentication are supplied by the operator. Its polling and result submission match the private runner function; scanner signals in bundled dependencies do not establish malicious 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 exposes dist/index.cjs as the CLI and main entrypoint, with no lifecycle script declared.
- The runner takes its cloud URL and authentication token from operator-supplied environment variables.
- The runner polls the configured cloud for due checks and posts monitor results to that same configured cloud URL.
