+title: "Multi-Agent Consensus Sybil Attack"
+id: ATR-2026-108
+status: experimental
+description: |
+  Detects attempts to manipulate multi-agent consensus or voting systems through
+  Sybil-style attacks. This includes instructions to create multiple fake agent
+  identities, coordinate votes across agents, or systematically submit false
+  proposals to overwhelm legitimate consensus mechanisms. In multi-agent
+  architectures where decisions require agreement among agents, an attacker may
+  instruct one agent to impersonate multiple identities or coordinate with
+  compromised agents to swing votes.

+status: experimental
+description: |
+  Detects MCP tools that attempt to override system prompts or behavioral guidelines
+  by instructing the AI to "adopt" a persona and "replace" existing instructions. This
+  is a prompt injection attack delivered through tool descriptions rather than user input,
+  exploiting the trust relationship between the LLM and its tools to fundamentally alter
+  the agent's behavior and identity.
