+# Agent Threat Rules detection callback
+
+A small cookbook example that screens user input against ATR-inspired
+threat patterns before the request reaches the model. ATR is an open
+detection standard for AI agent threats (prompt injection, tool
+poisoning, MCP attacks, skill compromise) published under Apache-2.0:
+
+https://github.com/Agent-Threat-Rule/agent-threat-rules
+
+## What it does
+
+`atr_detection_callback.py` defines `ATRDetectionGuardrail`, a
+`CustomGuardrail` whose `async_pre_call_hook` runs each user message
+through a handful of compiled regex patterns. On a match, it logs the
+rule id and raises a `ValueError`, which LiteLLM surfaces to the caller
+as a blocked request.
+
+The patterns embedded in the file are illustrative copies covering
+common categories: instruction override, system prompt exfiltration,
+role-play jailbreak, base64-wrapped payloads, MCP tool override, and
+`file://` SSRF references. The full ruleset lives in the ATR repository.
+
+## Wire it up
+
+Add a guardrail entry to your proxy config:
+
+```yaml
+guardrails:
+  - guardrail_name: "atr-input-screen"
+    litellm_params:
+      guardrail: cookbook.atr_detection_callback.atr_detection_callback.ATRDetectionGuardrail
+      mode: "pre_call"
+      default_on: true
+```
+
+Then start the proxy as usual. Requests containing matching patterns
+will be rejected before the LLM call, and the rule id will appear in
+the proxy logs.
+
+## Extending
+
+To run against the live ATR YAML ruleset instead of embedded patterns,
+load rule files at startup and compile their `detection.regex_patterns`
+fields into the same list shape.
