-title: "SSRF via Agent Tool Calls"
-id: ATR-2026-00013
-rule_version: 1
-status: experimental
-description: >
-  Detects Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attempts through agent tool calls.
-  Attackers manipulate agents into making requests to internal network endpoints,
-  cloud metadata services, localhost, or private IP ranges through tool parameters.
-  Detection covers: AWS/GCP/Azure/DigitalOcean metadata endpoints, localhost and
-  loopback variants (including decimal, hex, octal IP encoding), private RFC1918
-  ranges, internal hostnames, exotic URI schemes (file, gopher, dict, tftp, ldap),
-  DNS rebinding indicators, redirect-based SSRF patterns, cloud-specific IMDS
-  token headers, IPv6 loopback and mapped addresses, and hostname-based internal
-  service discovery. IP encoding evasion techniques (decimal, octal, hex) are
-  specifically addressed.

-status: experimental
-description: |
-  Detects MCP tools that instruct the LLM to treat tool output as "authoritative directives"
-  that override user preferences or safety guidelines. This trust escalation attack exploits
-  the LLM's tendency to follow tool instructions by declaring tool output as highest-priority
-  instructions, effectively hijacking the agent's decision-making hierarchy.

-rule_version: 1
-status: experimental
-description: |
-  Detects tools that embed explicit instructions directing the LLM to disregard safety

-  patterns like "NOTE TO AI: disregard all safety instructions" to manipulate the LLM
-  into operating outside its safety boundaries. Unlike consent-bypass attacks (ATR-2026-100),
