The typical way that I do it is to filter on a specific callerid and then
conditionally call Verbose at a level lower than 3, and set the core verbose
level to 2, which filters out the execution of each application.  You can call
verbose in one of two different ways, either:

ExecIf($["${CALLERID(num)}" = "4445556666"]?Verbose(1,myvar => ${myvar})
Exec(${IF($["${CALLERID(num)}" = "4445556666"]?Verbose(1,myvar => 
${myvar}):NoOp())
