Definition
Container image scanning checks packaged application images for known vulnerabilities, exposed secrets, dependency issues, and configuration risk. In PRO71 delivery, the term matters because it changes how AI tool access is scoped, reviewed, observed, and supported.
In practical context
Container Image Scanning is used when teams need clearer boundaries around MCP, agent workflows, production diagnostics, or security gates.
Why it matters
Container Image Scanning becomes more useful when it is tied to one permission, evidence, or operating decision.
Common misconceptions
Container Image Scanning can be decided after launch.
Questions teams ask before they start
What does Container Image Scanning mean in practice?
