+# ATR (Agent Threat Rules) Plugin
+
+This plugin runs request or response content through a list of ATR (Agent Threat Rules) detection rules and blocks when a match meets or exceeds the configured severity threshold.
+
+## Overview
+
+ATR is an MIT-licensed open detection rule format for AI agent security threats. Rules describe attacks such as prompt injection, system-prompt exfiltration, tool-output poisoning, IMDS/SSRF probing, and known agent-framework CVE patterns. The format is independent of any single vendor, runtime or agent framework.
+
+Project repository: https://github.com/Agent-Threat-Rule/agent-threat-rules
+
+## Features
+
+- Inline rule definition: pass the rules array directly via plugin parameters
+- Severity threshold: block on `low`, `medium`, `high` or `critical` and above
+- Reports both blocking matches and below-threshold matches in `data`
+- Pure JavaScript regex evaluation, no outbound network call in the hot path
+- Invalid regex in a single rule is skipped, not fatal to the scan
+
+## Setup
+
+There are no credentials. The plugin runs entirely with the rules provided in the request configuration.
+
+For production use, pin to a specific ATR release by importing the `agent-threat-rules` package and passing the resulting rule list into the `rules` parameter at config-construction time.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic configuration
+
+```yaml
+plugins:
+  - name: atr
+    config:
+      severity_threshold: high
+      rules:
+        - id: ATR-2026-00440
+          severity: high
+          regex: 'ignore (all|previous) instructions'
+        - id: ATR-2026-00050
+          severity: critical
+          regex: '169\.254\.169\.254'
+```
+
+### Hook selection
+
+The plugin is registered for both `beforeRequestHook` and `afterRequestHook`. Use the request hook to block injection prompts before they reach the model, and the response hook to catch model output that exfiltrates a system prompt or relays tool poisoning back to the caller.
+
+## Response data
+
+When the verdict is `false`, `data` contains:
+
+```json
+{
+  "matched_rules": ["ATR-2026-00440"],
+  "below_threshold": [],
+  "reason": "ATR rules matched at or above severity threshold"
+}
+```
+
+When the verdict is `true` and at least one below-threshold rule matched:
+
+```json
+{
+  "matched_rules": [],
+  "below_threshold": ["ATR-2026-00050"]
+}
+```
+
+## Severity ordering
+
+`low` < `medium` < `high` < `critical`. The default threshold is `high`.
+
+## License
+
+The plugin code in this directory is contributed under the same license as the host repository. ATR itself is MIT licensed.
