I am trying to use the description of the PR in my build pipeline. However when looking at the available environment variables: [Env-vars](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/environment-variables/) I did not find one that gives me the description of the PR.

Is there any way to retrieve the description and use it in the build ?
