### Understanding the Remediation Tab

1. **Step-by-step instructions:** Each issue includes clear guidance to resolve the vulnerability. This might involve code changes, configuration updates, or other corrective actions.
2. **Code snippets:** When applicable, the remediation provides example code to help implement secure practices correctly and efficiently.
3. **Explanation of risk:** A short description outlines the security impact, helping developers and security teams understand the issue's severity and implications.
4. **Next actions:** You can take immediate action from within the tab, such as retesting the fix, updating the issue status, or creating a Jira ticket.

## 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.akto.io/api-security-testing/concepts/remediation-steps-for-testing-issues.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.
