bc_respond_dialog
Respond to Business Central dialog prompts to continue workflows. After actions or reports trigger dialogs, provide the dialog ID with ok, cancel, yes, no, abort, or close to proceed.
Instructions
Responds to an open Business Central dialog or confirmation prompt. Dialogs are triggered by bc_execute_action, bc_write_data, or bc_run_report when BC requires user input (e.g., "Do you want to post?", "Delete this record?", validation warnings, or a report request page). When those tools return a dialogsOpened array with requiresDialogResponse: true, or bc_run_report returns a requestPage, you MUST call this tool (response: "ok" for a report request page) to continue the workflow.
The dialogFormId comes from the dialogsOpened array in the triggering tool's response. The response parameter accepts: "ok" (confirm/accept), "cancel" (dismiss/abort), "yes" or "no" (answer a yes/no question), "abort" (force-close), or "close" (close a modal information page). Choose the response that matches the dialog's intent -- confirmation dialogs typically need "yes", acceptance dialogs need "ok".
After responding, check the changedSections array in the result to see which page sections were affected. For example, posting a Sales Order may change all sections. If the dialog response triggers another dialog (chained confirmations), the response will include a new dialogsOpened array -- respond to each dialog in sequence.
Do NOT call this without a preceding dialog -- there is no dialog to respond to unless dialogsOpened was returned by bc_execute_action / bc_write_data, or a requestPage was returned by bc_run_report. Do NOT guess the dialogFormId -- always use the exact value from the dialogsOpened array (or requestPage.formId).
Example: { "pageContextId": "abc", "dialogFormId": "dialog-123", "response": "yes" }
