API Spector private runner: monitor internal/local APIs the cloud cannot reach, with no inbound connections.
AI Security Review
scanned 8d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged network, environment, VM, and process-related indicators resolve to bundled runner functionality and dependencies. The active network flow uses the operator-configured service, with no concrete malicious behavior established.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Starting the CLI with the destination and runner token configured.
Impact
Monitoring requests and results are exchanged with the configured service; the inspected source does not establish an unrelated credential recipient or hidden install action.
Mechanism
The runner authenticates to the configured service, retrieves due checks, executes them, and posts their results.
AI rationale
The flagged network, environment, VM, and process-related indicators resolve to bundled runner functionality and dependencies. The active network flow uses the operator-configured service, with no concrete malicious behavior established.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 92.0% 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 and has no lifecycle script.
- The runner reads its destination and token from environment variables and builds authentication headers from those values.
- It polls the configured service for due monitors and posts monitoring results to that same configured service.
- The bundle executes monitor requests and scripts as part of the private runner functionality described in the README.
