Well. If I assume, that by "prompt" you meant "whatever server
sends out", it could be possible to hack sources in such a way,
that whatever anyone says, it appears like from "Tool(global-config)".

It is already done similarly on !channels, when you set +a mode
(anonymous), however the origin of all messages is changed to
"anonymous!anonymous@anonymous." -- perhaps it could be used
for your purposes, the changes would have been minimal.

Other than changing the code there is no way in ircd. (And if you
really meant "prompt", then you should be asking on a discussion
list about the client you use.)
