Recent Posts (February 8–14, 2026)
➡️ 1. Rec.Truncate in AL
📇 Author: Duilio Tacconi
🗓️ Date: February 10, 2026
🌎 Link: duiliotacconi.com
📝 Summary: Duilio provides a detailed look into the new Rec.Truncate() AL statement introduced in BC27. The post explains the difference between SQL TRUNCATE TABLE and row-by-row DeleteAll(), lists all constraints (system tables, Media fields, event subscribers, and more), and provides a demo app with lab benchmarks showing truncate is advantageous when deleting 50% or more of a table’s content.
➡️ 2. CentralGauge Benchmark Update: Why the Numbers Changed
📇 Author: SShadowS
🗓️ Date: February 10, 2026
🌎 Link: blog.sshadows.dk
📝 Summary: SShadowS publishes updated CentralGauge benchmark results for 8 LLMs on AL code generation after fixing infrastructure bugs — corrupted code extraction, broken test harnesses, and vague task specifications. The revised rankings across 56 tasks show Claude Opus 4.6 leading at 76.2% pass@1 with 98.2% consistency, followed by Opus 4.5 at 75.0% and GPT-5.2 at 64.3%. Next up: Agent benchmarks running models in Docker containers with access to the AL compiler and test runner.
➡️ 3. Agents in Business Central – Part 1 – The Architecture
📇 Author: Bert Verbeek
🌎 Link: bertverbeek.nl
📝 Summary: Bert kicks off a series on building custom agents in Business Central 27.4 (public preview). Part 1 covers the core architecture — the Agent Task Builder and Agent Task codeunits, asynchronous orchestration on separate sessions, parallel task execution, incoming and outgoing message handling, and the required permissions (AGENT – ADMIN, AGENT – DIAGNOSTICS).
➡️ 4. How We Built an AI Agent to Qualify Leads in Business Central
📇 Author: Javi Armesto
🗓️ Date: February 13, 2026
🌎 Link: techspheredynamics.com
📝 Summary: Javi walks through building a Lead Qualification Agent using the BC Agent SDK. The extension evaluates leads across four dimensions (sector fit, budget viability, product match, company size), assigns a weighted score, and — when the lead scores Hot or Warm — automatically hands off to a Quote Builder Agent via a public API. The post covers the three-interface architecture (IAgentFactory, IAgentMetadata, IAgentTaskExecution), a three-layer security model, and human intervention patterns.
➡️ 5. Dynamics 365 Business Central: BCMCPProxy vNext
📇 Author: Stefano Demiliani
🌎 Link: demiliani.com
📝 Summary: Stefano rewrote Microsoft’s open-source BCMCPProxy .NET project for full cross-platform support on Windows and macOS. The new version upgrades to .NET 10 and C# 13, adds device code flow authentication and secure token caching, and benchmarks 40–67% performance improvements over the original. It works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible clients, with a PR submitted to Microsoft’s BCTech repo.
➡️ 6. Fixed Asset Accounting from a Prompt: Claude MCP Meets Business Central
📇 Author: Silviu Virlan
🌎 Link: svirlan.com
📝 Summary: Silviu demonstrates managing an entire fixed asset lifecycle — acquisitions, depreciation, and disposals with automatic gain/loss calculation — using Claude Code connected to Business Central via MCP. The detailed walkthrough covers OData V4 web service setup, CSV-driven bulk asset onboarding, and multi-step API patterns for the workflowGenJournalLines and FADepBooks endpoints, with key lessons on where the standard API v2.0 falls short for FA transactions.
➡️ 7. Adding Notes to Financial Report Lines
📇 Author: Gerardo Rentería
🌎 Link: gerardorenteria.blog
📝 Summary: Gerardo builds an AL extension that adds line-level notes to financial reports (Account Schedules) in Business Central. The solution includes a FactBox on the Overview matrix, indexed footnotes in printed reports with a synchronized “Notes to Financial Statements” section, and a direct Excel export — all backed by a full open-source GitHub project with table extensions, page extensions, and RDLC layouts.
