Since the command being used to respond to the message is the REPLY command,
you seem to have two choices:
Use an OPERCMDS profile to allow only the blessed few to issue the
command. Since the REPLY command is used for so many different purposes,
this does not seem practical.
Use the MVS Commands Installation Exit to determine the issuer and what
he is responding to and then set R15 to 0 (allow the command) or 2 (issuer
not authorized).
My limited knowledge of MPF exits leads me to believe that they get control
when the original message is "sent" to the console which is before anyone
has attempted a response. That seems like it wouldn't be of much help.
