# Example Queries
This page provides example queries you can use with the Trivy MCP Server Plugin to scan your projects, container images, and repositories for security vulnerabilities and other issues.
> **Important:** Make sure to use the chat window in `Agent` mode, not `Ask` mode when working with the MCP server.
## Local Project Analysis
These queries help you analyze the security of your local projects:
```
Are there any vulnerabilities or misconfigurations in this project?
```
```
Find all HIGH severity vulnerabilities in this codebase
```
```
Generate a CycloneDX SBOM for this project
```
## Container Image Scanning
Use these queries to scan container images for vulnerabilities and other issues:
```
Does the python:3.12 image have any vulnerabilities?
```
```
Show me all critical security issues in the nginx:latest image
```
```
What are the licenses used by dependencies in the node:18 image?
```
## Repository Analysis
Scan remote repositories for security issues:
```
What are the vulnerabilities in github.com/aquasecurity/trivy-ci-test?
```
```
Check for misconfigurations in kubernetes/kubernetes repository
```
## Advanced Usage
Advanced queries for more specific scanning needs:
```
Scan this project for secrets and license issues only
```
```
Generate an SPDX SBOM and show me any dependency vulnerabilities
```
```
What security issues were fixed in the latest version of this image?
```
## Assurance Policy Queries (Aqua Platform)
When using Aqua Platform integration, you can ask about policy compliance:
```
Are there any assurance policy failures in this project?
```
```
Check this codebase for compliance with our security policies
```
```
What security policies are failing and how can I fix them?
```
