## What it is
amicontained is a container introspection CLI tool that detects which container runtime (docker, lxc, rkt, systemd-nspawn, etc.) it is running inside. It reports available namespaces, user namespace mappings, AppArmor profiles, capabilities, and seccomp filters.

## Use cases
- detect which container runtime a process is running in
- inspect seccomp filters and blocked syscalls inside a container
- check apparmor profile enforcement in a container
- list available linux namespaces and capabilities
- verify user namespace mappings for container security auditing

## When to choose
- you need to audit the security features and restrictions of a container environment from inside it
- you want a quick way to identify the container runtime during incident response or debugging

## When to avoid
- you need container management or orchestration, not introspection
- you require actively maintained tooling - the latest release dates to December 2020
