Documents the Require user confirmation policy for custom tools, added in elastic/kibana#281896 (9.6).

Changes

  • custom-tools.md — replaces the "not available" note; explains that the policy is configurable in the UI for workflow and MCP tools, and via the Tools API for any custom tool type
  • workflow-tools.md, mcp-tools.md — new Require user confirmation configuration entry; both screenshots recaptured to show the control
  • chat.md — generalizes tool confirmation beyond Elastic-built tools, adds an example of the generic prompt, adds the missing serverless: ga badge
  • limitations-known-issues.md — clarifies that a declined tool call does not fail the sub-agent run
  • agent-builder-api-tutorial.md — drops the now-inaccurate "Elastic-built" qualifier

Scoped stack: ga 9.6+ / serverless: ga.

Closes elastic/docs-content-internal#1610
