# The Platform

The Meterian platform is composed of three different scanning systems:

* a [scanner for codebases](/the-client/client.md) (SCA - Software Composition Analysis)
* a [scanner for containers](/containers-support/container-scanner.md) (SCA - Software Composition Analysis for docker containers)
* a [scanner for infrastructure-as-code](/dedicated-instance/using-the-scanners/iac-scanner.md) (IaC scanner)

Our license is generally based on the number of assets you want to keep under control (codebases, docker images, IaCs): the cost will depend on how many of them you want to keep it in the platform. We can also license the system based on seats, if needed. All languages and CI integrations supported are included in all commercial plans. Some reporting formats may not be available to non-enterprise licenses. [Support](/master/support.md) is included in all commercial plans.

Some additional features need to be inclduded explicitly:

* teams management
* automatic [notifications](/notifications/sentinel.md) of new vulnerability in codebases without explicit scanning
* software bill of materials ([SBOMS](/the-meterian-webapp/advanced-functionalities/software-bill-of-materials-sbom.md))
* full [API access](/api-basics.md)
* license inventory and [risk analysis](/the-meterian-webapp/the-web-dashboard-1/policies.md)
* [automatic remediation ](/the-client/command-line-parameters/advanced-options/autofix.md)and[ pull-requests](/the-client/command-line-parameters/advanced-options/pull-requests.md) (on selected platforms and languages)

# 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 current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.meterian.io/master/the-platform.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
