This is reminding me of a message Werner wrote[1] last year that
pinentry will show some context of the reason it is prompting. So this
functionality might be in the works. I assume you are prompted by a
pinentry to push the button?

As you note, if access to your agent was compromised, this would not
constitute solid protection as the information could be spoofed or
substituted. It is informative, though.

HTH,

Peter.
