+id: ATR-2026-00111
+rule_version: 1
+status: experimental
+description: |
+  Detects shell metacharacter injection patterns in tool arguments or agent-generated
+  commands. Attackers embed backtick execution, $() subshells, semicolons, pipes, or
+  logical operators to chain malicious commands onto otherwise safe tool invocations.
+  Null byte and newline injection are also covered as they can truncate or split
+  commands in vulnerable parsers.
