API Spector private runner: monitor internal/local APIs the cloud cannot reach, with no inbound connections.
AI Security Review
scanned 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged network and execution behaviors serve the package's stated purpose, and the token and service URL are supplied by the user. No install hook or unrelated credential destination was found.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
The user runs the api-spector-agent command with APP_URL and an agent or runtime token.
Impact
The runner accesses the configured APIs and sends check results to the configured API Spector service.
Mechanism
It polls APP_URL for due monitor definitions, executes the checks, and submits their results to APP_URL.
AI rationale
The flagged network and execution behaviors serve the package's stated purpose, and the token and service URL are supplied by the user. No install hook or unrelated credential destination was found.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest has no lifecycle scripts and exposes the bundle as the command and main entry point.
- The README describes a private API monitor that the user runs with their cloud URL and agent token.
- The agent polls the configured APP_URL for due monitors and posts results back to that same configured service.
- The agent sends response and request details as monitor results, consistent with its monitoring purpose.
Evidence against
- The bundle includes VM-based expression evaluation and integrations for resolving configured AWS and other service secrets.
