Second rancid. If SFTOS supports per-command authorization (via RADIUS/TACACS), you can limit the script account to only be able to use 'show run' and whatever else it needs (even when it logs in).
That said, if you're looking for on-the-cheap, I haven't seen a free TACACS+ server that does authorization and was stable, so you'll probably have to compromise and give your script more permissions than it needs just to get the job done.
