+title: "Credential and Secret Exposure in Agent Output"
+id: ATR-2026-00021
+rule_version: 1
+status: experimental
+description: |
+  Detects when an AI agent exposes API keys, secret tokens, private keys,
+  database connection strings, JWT tokens, or other sensitive credentials
+  in its output. Covers all major cloud provider key formats, CI/CD tokens,
+  payment processor keys, SSH keys, .env file content patterns, and generic
+  secret assignment patterns. Credential leakage in agent output poses a
+  critical security risk leading to unauthorized access, lateral movement,
+  financial loss, and full account compromise.

+rule_version: 1
+status: experimental
+description: |
+  Detects tools or agent instructions that perform bulk extraction of environment

+  to the full environment can compromise every connected service. This rule targets
