# Scan Mode

## Overview

* Uses Checkmarx or Snyk CLI tools to run a SAST scan on a given repository
* Analyze the vulnerability report to identify issues that can be remediated automatically
* Produces the code fixes and redirects the user to the fix report page on the Mobb platform

### Scan Mode - Usage

To check what options are available under the analyze mode, run:

```
npx mobbdev@latest scan --help
```

Here is the output of the help file:

```
cli.mjs scan

```
