API Spector private runner: monitor internal/local APIs the cloud cannot reach, with no inbound connections.
AI Security Review
scanned 7d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe executable uses a caller-configured APP_URL and requires a caller-supplied token; its polling and result uploads serve the private monitoring runner's function. The inspected source shows no fixed unrelated recipient or concrete attack behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
The user starts the CLI after configuring APP_URL and an agent or runtime token.
Impact
The service receives monitor results and request and response data as part of the runner's stated function.
Mechanism
It polls the configured service for monitors, runs their requests, and posts results to that service.
AI rationale
The executable uses a caller-configured APP_URL and requires a caller-supplied token; its polling and result uploads serve the private monitoring runner's function. The inspected source shows no fixed unrelated recipient or concrete attack behavior.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 97.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json exposes dist/index.cjs as the package entrypoint and CLI.
- The runner requires APP_URL and a caller-provided agent or runtime token before starting.
- The runner polls APP_URL for due monitors and sends results back to that same configured service.
- Reported data consists of monitor results, request and response headers, and bodies.
