It's not the same thing.

Messages are already wrapped in developer role, system, user, assistant, tool, etc by special tokens. If you are paranoid you could show a confirmation box, a UAC prompt, etc. Refusing is the worst possible solution.

Well, prompt injections work precisely because they can sometimes successfully imitate user role, right? Role separation is a trained behavior, not a security boundary.

They could probably make a separate tool for setting this, that would always initiate a harness prompt (i.e. disregarding the currently set mode).
