+title: "System Prompt and Internal Instruction Leakage"
+id: ATR-2026-020
+status: experimental
+description: |
+  Detects when an agent's output reveals system prompt content, internal
+  instructions, guardrail configurations, or confidential operational
+  parameters. This consolidated rule covers both direct system prompt
+  disclosure and indirect instruction leakage through behavioral
+  self-description. Leaking internal instructions enables adversaries to
+  map the agent's constraints and craft targeted bypass attacks.
+  Covers: direct prompt quoting, instruction paraphrasing, guardrail
+  revelation, config exposure, and non-disclosure rule echoing.

+title: "Data Poisoning via RAG and Knowledge Base Contamination"
+id: ATR-2026-070
+status: experimental
+description: |
+  Consolidated detection for data poisoning attacks targeting both RAG
+  retrieval pipelines and structured knowledge bases. Detects malicious
+  content injected into retrieved documents, FAQ entries, help articles,
+  and indexed data that contains hidden instructions, directive markers,
+  role-override commands, concealment directives, behavioral mode switching,
+  or exfiltration commands. When poisoned content is retrieved as context
+  for the LLM, the embedded instructions can hijack agent behavior,
+  override safety guardrails, or cause data exfiltration.
