The following workflow builds the image, then evaluates it against the DHI policy bundle\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```yaml\nname: DHI policy check\n\non:\n  push:\n\nenv:\n  IMAGE_NAME: my-dhi-app:${{ github.sha }}\n\njobs:\n  policy:\n    runs-on: ubuntu-latest\n    steps:\n      - name: Check out the repository\n        uses: actions/checkout@v4\n\n      - name: Set up Docker Buildx\n        uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v3\n\n      - name: Log in to Docker Hub\n        uses: docker/login-action@v3\n        with:\n          username: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_USER }}\n          password: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_PAT }}\n\n      - name: Build the image\n        uses: docker/build-push-action@v6\n        with:\n          context: .\n          load: true\n          tags: ${{ env.IMAGE_NAME }}\n\n      - name: Evaluate DHI policies\n        uses: docker/scout-action@v1.23.1\n        with:\n          command: policy\n          image: ${{ env.IMAGE_NAME }}\n          policy-bundle: dhi/policies:latest\n          exit-code: true\n```\n\nThe docker/login-action step authenticates with Docker Hub so the runner can pull the DHI base image and the dhi/policies bundle. Store your Docker Hub username and a personal access token as the DOCKER_USER and DOCKER_PAT repository secrets.\n\nSet exit-code: true to fail the step when any policy isn't met. The policy-bundle input accepts a comma-separated list of bundles, and you can combine it with the policy-file, policy-dir, and policy-config inputs, the same as the CLI flags.\n\nFor more on running policy evaluation in CI, see Evaluate policies.\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Docker Documentation under Apache-2.0.
