When you create a pull request in the repository, the workflow will get triggered and add a pull request comment. The comment will be added even if the pull request is from a fork. Here is an screenshot of what the comment will look like:

The bot solely generates code comments, it does not approve or block PRs based on its suggestions. The action passes once the code comments are posted in the PR discussion.
