# Snyk Container

How Snyk Container finds and fixes vulnerabilities in container images

{% hint style="info" %}
To learn more about container security, see [Container security](https://snyk.io/learn/container-security/?_gl=1*ue4hic*_ga*MTYzMjUyMDYwNC4xNjg4OTkzNjQ2*_ga_X9SH3KP7B4*MTY5NzcxMDUyOS4xODMuMS4xNjk3NzEzMDI3LjU1LjAuMA..).
{% endhint %}

Containers provide a standard packaging format for applications, but container images can be opaque. This can lead to problems when identifying the software and the vulnerabilities they contain.

## Snyk Container functions

Snyk Container provides tools and integrations to quickly find and fix vulnerabilities. This allows you to create images that have security built-in from the start.

## Snyk Container integrations

Snyk Container provides a range of integrations to import Projects into Snyk. These integrations support different workflows.

For details on available integrations, see [Container registry integrations](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-container/container-registry-integrations.md) and [Kubernetes integration](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-container/kubernetes-integration.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.snyk.io/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-container.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
