Good suggestion here.

I created a single serving Ansible docker image with a couple of playbooks for this very purpose --devs were asking frequently to pull schemas or dump from various data sources internally "Hey I forgot the command to do this, what was it again?".

Eventually I gave them a Dockerfile, wrote up some documentation on how to change hosts in the run command if they so desired, questions all but stopped immediately, and the devs loved it.

I now get a new question "hey, can you make one of those but to do this?"

"Sure, here's a playbook for it, put this in that directory on your local machine and it'll be available in the container". Combined with dynamic host inventories, it's made me a few friends lol
