      x-ai-description: 'Initiates a comprehensive audit of an entire address book.  This is a strategic step taken before launching a campaign to a new or stale list to prevent hard bounces and protect the sender''s domain reputation.

        '
      x-ai-reasoning-instructions:
      - Ensure that the mailing list has not been used in a campaign yet, as the system restricts verification of active lists.
      - Check if there are any ongoing verifications for the same list ID; concurrent verifications are prohibited.
      - Verify that the account has sufficient verification credits and that the current plan is active.
      - Advise the user that new addresses must be added to the list if they are re-verifying a previously checked book.
      x-ai-responding-instructions:
      - Confirm that the verification process has started successfully.
      - Instruct the user to use the `getVerificationProgress` method to monitor the status.
      - Remind the user that the list cannot be used for sending until the verification is complete.
      x-ai-suggestions:
      - Check progress in 5 minutes.

      - Predict an estimated time remaining if the processing rate is consistent.
