Any danger using rank tracking programs?

I'm wondering how rank trackers work - either those web-based and those that are used on the desktop. My question is whether the programs actually 1) query google about "where is this website ranking for this keyword" or 2) they just input the keyword and their program checks which page it is on.

The reason I ask is if it's the former (1) that means Google actually knows which websites are being tracked through the queries to them. They will then of course be able to track these websites and it may be dangerous for us. If (2) is the method of tracking rank then things are safer.

I like the use of rank tracking software but if method (1) is being used then I really don't want to be using it and tracking my sites too often because Google would know something is fishy because of the constant queries about this website.
