CI/CD rules identify and flag issues based on predefined criteria, ensuring that potential threats are proactively detected and addressed to enhance the overall security posture of your application. CI/CD rules cover a wide range of security best practices, inspired by compliance frameworks such as OWASP top 10 CI/CD Risks, as well as additional best practices beyond regulatory requirements. {% hint style="info" %} ### Note * Out-of-the-box rules cannot be modified * Custom CI/CD rules are not supported {% endhint %} ### Learn more * [CI/CD rules roles and permissions](/application-security/software-supply-chain-security/governance-and-enforcement/cicd-rules/cicd-rules-roles-and-permissions.md) * [CI/CD rules inventory](/application-security/software-supply-chain-security/governance-and-enforcement/cicd-rules/cicd-rules-inventory.md) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

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/software-supply-chain-security/governance-and-enforcement/cicd-rules.md?ask=&goal= ``` `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.
