Dismiss a sitewide notice for the current user
AI agents use buddypress_dismiss_sitewide_notice to create or update resources in BuddyPress MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your BuddyPress MCP Server environment.
Dismissing a notice modifies the user's state (marks a notice as dismissed), which is a reversible write operation. It only affects the current user's view of a sitewide notice and has minimal blast radius — it doesn't delete data globally, just records a dismissal preference for that user.
