"""
Scorer that flags text matching an Agent Threat Rules (ATR) detection rule.

Evaluates the scored text against the open ATR ruleset using the ``pyatr``
engine and returns ``True`` when a rule at or above ``min_severity`` matches.
The matched rule id(s), ATR category, and maximum matched severity are
attached as score metadata.

ATR is an MIT-licensed community ruleset
(https://github.com/Agent-Threat-Rule/agent-threat-rules). The optional
``pyatr`` package (>= 0.2.6, which bundles the ruleset) is required; install
it with ``pip install pyrit[atr]``.

This pairs with the ``_AgentThreatRulesDataset`` seed-prompt loader: the
dataset supplies ATR-derived adversarial prompts, and this scorer detects
whether a response trips an ATR rule.

Initialize the AgentThreatRulesScorer.

Args:
min_severity (str): Lowest ATR severity that counts as a match. One of

files. When omitted, the ruleset bundled with ``pyatr`` is used.

When a rule matches, its ATR category is used instead. Defaults to None.

This message and the class docstring (:27-28) both tell users pip install pyatr, but this PR adds an atr extra to pyproject, so the idiomatic install is pip install pyrit[atr] (matches pip install pyrit[opencv] etc. in the other optional-dep scorers). Worth updating both spots.

Minor: peers catch ModuleNotFoundError here rather than the broader ImportError. ImportError would also swallow an import failure from inside pyatr itself and misreport it as "not installed", so ModuleNotFoundError is a touch more precise.

Nit, optional and low likelihood: _build_identifier omits rules_dir, so two scorers loading different custom rulesets share an eval_hash (and stored scorer_class_identifier). It only bites if you pass a custom rules_dir and use the scorer-eval metrics harness, so the bundled-ruleset path is never affected. Cheap to close though, and consistent with how SubStringScorer includes substring in its identifier:
