Custom tools can now require a verified contact before they run. This gives tools a trustworthy signal about who the customer is without relying on DMARC or the JWT login.
ai_tools gets a requires_verification column, defaulting to true (fail-closed). A flagged tool is blocked in httpTool.Execute until the conversation is verified, and every tool call now carries an X-Libredesk-Contact-Verified header so tool authors can tell an OTP-verified contact from a self-claimed one.
The AI agent gets three native tools: send_email_verification emails a 6-digit code out of band, check_email_verification confirms it, and set_contact_email lets an anonymous visitor add an email to send the code to. Codes and the verified window live in Redis, scoped per conversation, with attempt and resend caps. JWT livechat contacts stay trusted without OTP; email contacts and visitors verify by code.
The tool admin form gets a "require verified contact" toggle (default on) with a confirm dialog when turning it off.
