This sample shows the pattern recommended in #5366: a single, deterministic enforcement point that validates a tool call right before it executes. ATRValidationMiddleware is a FunctionMiddleware that inspects the validated tool arguments in ``FunctionInvocationContext.arguments`` and raises ``MiddlewareTermination`` BEFORE calling ``call_next()`` when the arguments match a known attack pattern, so the tool never runs. Detection is delegated to Agent Threat Rules (ATR) -- an open, MIT-licensed detection ruleset for AI-agent threats such as prompt injection, tool-argument tampering, and exfiltration. The sample loads the published ruleset (``pip install pyatr``) and runs the real engine over the tool arguments. ``pyatr`` evaluates the rules locally and deterministically, with no model call in the enforcement path, so the block/allow decision is reproducible and auditable.
