The following screenshot shows what the GitHub PR comment looks like when a
policy evaluation check fails because policy has become worse in the PR image
compared to baseline.

This example has demonstrated how to run policy evaluation in CI with GitHub
Actions. Docker Scout also supports other CI platforms. For more information,
see [Docker Scout CI
integrations](../integrations/_index.md#continuous-integration).
