API Spector private runner: monitor internal/local APIs the cloud cannot reach, with no inbound connections.
AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package’s network and credential use matches its documented private-runner purpose: it uses a user-configured API Spector Cloud URL and token to run monitors and return results. The scanner’s foreign-host leads do not establish credential redirection or unrelated exfiltration in the runner code.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running the CLI with APP_URL and a runner token configured.
Impact
Expected monitoring traffic and results are sent to the user-configured service; no unrelated collection or credential redirection was identified.
Mechanism
The agent polls the configured cloud for due monitors, executes their checks, and submits the results to that same configured service.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 97.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes the bundled runner as both the CLI and CommonJS entry point and has no lifecycle scripts.
- The README describes a private API monitor that polls API Spector Cloud, runs due checks, and posts results.
- The documented APP_URL is the user’s API Spector Cloud URL; AGENT_TOKEN is described as scoped to the agent ability.
- The runner reads APP_URL and its token from environment variables, polls the due-monitor endpoint, runs returned monitors, and posts their results to that configured URL.
- The CLI exits unless APP_URL and a runner token are configured, then starts polling.
