You can pass the --detailed-exitcodes flag to puppet agent to get non-zero exit codes. Here's the description from the puppet-agent man page:
--detailed-exitcodes Provide transaction information via exit codes. If this is enabled, an exit code of '2' means there were changes, an exit code of '4' means there were failures during the transaction, and an exit code of '6' means there were both changes and failures.
