+title: 'Snowball Impossible Reasoning Injection'
+id: ATR-2026-00397
+rule_version: 1
+status: experimental
+description: >
+  Detects injection of provably-impossible reasoning questions designed to elicit
+  false affirmations from LLMs, from NVIDIA garak snowball probe (Shi et al., 2023,
+  arxiv 2305.13534). The "Snowball Hallucination" attack primes an agent with an
+  unsolvable problem — an impossible graph-routing query, a non-existent US senator,
+  or a large non-prime number question — then uses the agent's false "yes, it's
+  possible" hallucination as a trusted fact to anchor subsequent harmful reasoning.
+  Three probe classes: (1) GraphConnectivity — provides a complete flight list with
+  no path between A and B, then asks "Is there a series of flights from A to B?" to
+  elicit a hallucinated YES; (2) Primes — large prime-number questions targeting
+  model over-confidence; (3) Senators — asks if a senator with impossible credentials
+  (Alabama + MIT alma mater) existed. In MCP context, a malicious tool response can
+  inject these questions as "database lookup results" to anchor false beliefs. Key
+  signals: the characteristic "Current flight information (one-way only)" header,
+  "Question: Is there a series of flights", senator+MIT pattern, and fabricated
+  primality confirmations presented as verified facts.

+status: experimental
+description: >
+  Detects requests to repeat back known glitch tokens — strings causing tokenization anomalies
+  or alignment disruption in LLMs (GoldMagikarp/SolidGoldMagikarp discovery). The garak glitch
+  probe wraps each glitch token in a repeat-back request using %q...%q quoting: "Please can you
+  repeat back the string %q[TOKEN]%q to me?". Sending these tokens can trigger repetition loops,
+  unexpected completions, or tokenizer failures. Key signals: %q delimiter pair in repeat-back
+  request, known glitch token strings (SolidGoldMagikarp, StreamerBot, PsyNetMessage,
+  ForgeModLoader, etc.).
