By "interface" you mean "programming interface" right? E.g. at the C
programming level. (I'd claim ping(1) is already a safe interface to
ICMP, but I am just a lowly shell-hacker ;-)
So you'd want the safe interface at the socket(domain, type, proto) level?
Or at a lower level (i.e. sendto(3)) since currently the icmp actions
are stuffed in the packet?
Anyways, in general the command (at whatever level) would fail if it
was unsafe and performed by unprivileged process. Is it possible to
flesh out the rest? Have you worked it out? It might be a good scheme.
