# Reference D: CI status values

CI status indicates the policy evaluation result. It corresponds to the Cortex CLI exit code returned to the pipeline. CI status applies to CI scans and pull request scans. Branch periodic scans have no scan status.

<table><thead><tr><th>CI status</th><th>Wire value</th><th>Meaning</th><th width="196.8031005859375">Exit code</th><th>Build consequence</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Passed</strong></td><td><code>PASSED</code></td><td>The scan completed. No finding matched a blocking policy.</td><td><code>0</code></td><td>The build continues.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Blocked</strong></td><td><code>FAILED</code></td><td>A finding matched an enabled policy with <strong>Block CI/CD</strong>.</td><td><code>1</code></td><td>The build fails when the pipeline treats non-zero exit codes as failures.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>In Progress</strong></td><td><code>IN_PROGRESS</code></td><td>The scan is executing.</td><td>Not yet returned</td><td>The pipeline step is still running.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>N/A</strong></td><td><code>N/A</code></td><td>The conditions are not confirmed.</td><td>Not confirmed</td><td>Not confirmed</td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Error** is a **Scan Health** value only. It never appears as a **CI Status** value. Filter **Scan Health** to find scans that failed to execute. See [Reference C: Scan health values](/application-security/code-security/application-security-scans-management/manage-scans-through-the-tenant-ui/ci-scans/references/reference-c-scan-health-values.md).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Passed With Issues** has a distinct wire value. The console renders it like **Passed**. Use **Issues Found** to distinguish them. A **Passed** row with non-zero issues is **Passed With Issues**. Use the public API where the distinction must be machine-readable.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Do not treat an errored CLI scan as a clean evaluation. The scan reached no policy verdict.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
A finding inside a policy grace period does not fail the build. This is expected during the grace window.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/application-security/code-security/application-security-scans-management/manage-scans-through-the-tenant-ui/ci-scans/references/reference-d-ci-status-values.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.
