Example Output
Verification Policy Summary
Agents may verify ownership using a logged-in session, one-time email link, workspace admin approval, or limited billing metadata already visible in the support system. Agents must never ask for passwords, full payment card numbers, backup codes, or private API keys.
Risk Tiers
| Request | Risk | Required Verification |
|---|---|---|
| Update display name | Low | Logged-in session |
| Change billing email | Medium | Logged-in admin + email confirmation |
| Change account owner | High | Current owner approval or security escalation |
| Export workspace data | High | Admin session + confirmation email + audit note |
Chat Script: Verification Needed
"I can help with that. Because this changes account access, I need to verify ownership first. Please use the secure verification link I’m sending to the email address on file. For your safety, don’t send passwords, card numbers, or private keys in chat."
Failed Verification Script
"I’m not able to verify ownership from the information available in this conversation. I know that’s frustrating, but I can’t make access changes without the required verification. I can escalate this to our security team for review."
Tips for Best Results
- 💡Customize allowed signals to match what your support tooling actually exposes.
- 💡Make high-risk account changes intentionally inconvenient; that friction protects real customers.
- 💡Avoid scripts that confirm whether an email, card, or account exists to unauthorized users.
- 💡Review the final policy with security/legal before rolling it out to agents.
