Args: resource_name: Contact resource name (people/*) to delete """ service = init_service() if not service: return "Error: Google Contacts service is not available. Please check your credentials." try: result = service.delete_contact(resource_name) if result.get('success'): return f"Contact {resource_name} deleted successfully." else: return f"Failed to delete contact: {result.get('message', 'Unknown error')}" except Exception as e: return f"Error: Failed to delete contact - {str(e)}" - Supporting method in GoogleContactsService class that executes the Google People API deleteContact call.
