+title: 'Roleplay-Based Policy Bypass Jailbreak'
+id: ATR-2026-00229
+rule_version: 1
+status: experimental
+description: >
+  Detects jailbreak attempts that use creative roleplay assignments combined with explicit policy bypass language to circumvent safety guardrails. The attack pattern assigns the AI a fictional role (writer, storyteller, character) and explicitly states that the AI is "free from rules/policies" or can "write/do anything even if against policies". This technique leverages creative context to justify policy violations while maintaining plausible deniability as fictional content generation.

+status: experimental
+description: >
+  Detects MCP tools that extract browser cookies and login credentials from local SQLite databases,
+  encode them in base64, and transmit to external endpoints. This pattern matches credential harvesting
