Process

The user wants to work with web resources in Dynamics 365.

Argument provided: $ARGUMENTS

Process

1. Select environment — call list_environments, ask the user, call select_environment.

2. Determine the task:

"What web resources exist?" / "Find script X"

• Call list_web_resources with optional filter and type
• Type codes: 1=HTML, 2=CSS, 3=JS, 4=XML, 5=PNG, 6=JPG, 7=GIF, 9=XSL, 10=ICO, 11=SVG, 12=RESX
• Present as a table with: Name, Type, Managed/Unmanaged, Last Modified

"Show me the code in web resource X"

• Call get_web_resource — for text types (JS/HTML/CSS/XML), the content is automatically decoded from base64
• Present the decoded content with syntax highlighting
• Note whether it's managed (read-only) or unmanaged (editable)

"Edit/refactor this web resource"

1. get_web_resource to retrieve current content
2. Apply the requested changes to the decoded content
3. update_web_resource with the modified content (auto-encoded to base64)
4. publish_customizations to make changes live

• ⚠️ Always show the diff or summary of changes before publishing

"Create a new web resource"

1. create_web_resource with:
   • name: must include publisher prefix (e.g. "new_/scripts/utility.js")
   • type: the web resource type code
   • content: the actual content
   • display_name: human-readable name
   • solution_unique_name: optionally add to a solution
2. publish_customizations to make it available

"Publish customizations"

• publish_customizations with publish_all: true for all, or provide specific component XML

Important notes

• Managed web resources cannot be edited — the API will reject updates
• Always publish after creating or updating web resources
• For binary types (PNG, JPG, etc.), content stays as base64
• Web resource names must follow the format: prefix_/path/filename.ext
