+title: SQL Injection Destructive DDL Statement
+id: ATR-2026-01601
+rule_version: 1
+status: experimental
+description: |
+  Detects SQL injection payloads that attempt destructive DDL operations:
+  DROP TABLE, TRUNCATE TABLE, or unbounded DELETE FROM statements embedded
+  in agent tool arguments. These attacks exploit agents that pass user input
+  directly to database query tools, causing irreversible data destruction.
+  The canonical form uses string-termination ( ' or " followed by ; ) to
+  escape a parameterized context and inject a secondary statement.
