Deletes a local post from the Business Profile.

When to use it

Use this capability when you need “Delete a local post” without doing the same work manually in the Google Business Profile interface. It runs only when an AI client calls it.

What to provide

• accountId — required. Account id — bare "123" or "accounts/123".
• locationId — required. Location id — bare "456", "locations/456" or "accounts/1/locations/456".
• postId — required. Local post id (last segment of the post's name).

What it returns

Returns compact JSON from the upstream API or a clear MCP tool error. The exact fields depend on the operation and are documented in the technical reference.

What changes in Google Business Profile

The source marks the entire “Delete a local post” call as destructive. The exact effect depends on the selected action and is described below; review the parameters and reversibility before calling it.

Example request

Delete a local post in Google Business Profile. Ask for any required identifiers that are missing. Show me the exact change and wait for confirmation first.

Errors and limitations

Empty response on success. Local posts live only on the legacy v4 API (mybusiness.googleapis.com) — they were never migrated to v1.

Access also depends on token permissions, quotas, and upstream API limits.
