chainctl policy-gate check

Check an image against active policy gates.

Synopsis

Evaluate an image against any active policy gates and print the result for each.

Exit status is non-zero if any policy returned DENIED or ERROR, regardless of the policy’s mode, so this command is suitable for use in CI.
