Post to Google Business Profile

post_to_google_business
Destructive

Publish text, one photo, and a call-to-action button directly to a Google Business Profile listing for immediate public visibility.

Instructions

Publish a Post to the brand’s Google Business Profile — the panel that appears on Google Search and Maps for the business. Text, optionally ONE PHOTO, and a call-to-action button. Google’s Posts API accepts NO VIDEO, so pass a still image. This PUBLISHES immediately and publicly on the business listing — show the user the exact text, photo and button and get an explicit yes BEFORE calling. If the account manages several listings, call list_business_locations first and pass locationId. EVENT and OFFER posts both REQUIRE a title and a start date (Google’s rule). On an OFFER, Google IGNORES the button’s link — pass redeemOnlineUrl instead. A CALL button dials the number on the listing and takes no link. Needs Google Business Profile connected (Settings > Connectors > Google Business Profile).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
hookNoWHAT ANGLE this post is built on, recorded only at publish time. post_performance ranks hooks on it (a winner needs 5 posts sharing ONE hook), so pass a list_hooks id (e.g. "direct_callout", "before_after") or reuse your own wording EXACTLY across a campaign. Omit it and this post never votes on which hook works.
linkNothe URL the button opens — not for CALL, and ignored on an OFFER
brandNoWHICH PROFILE this post belongs to — id or exact name from list_brands (a shared workspace: its profile id). Beats the connection's pin for THIS CALL ONLY; a name that matches no profile, or two, is REFUSED and nothing is posted.
titleNoheadline — REQUIRED for EVENT and OFFER
ideaIdNoshort id of the content-plan idea this post came from
recipeNothe post's FORMAT id, e.g. "slideshow" or "imessage_chat" — post_performance groups by it, so reuse one id per format
endDateNoYYYY-MM-DD, defaults to startDate
subjectNoWHAT THIS POST IS ABOUT — product, feature, offer or theme (e.g. "winter coat", "free trial"). post_performance's second grouping axis: reuse the exact wording, as with hook.
summaryNothe body text of the Post
imageUrlNoa Hermoso render image URL (or an upload_file url) to show on the Post
startDateNoYYYY-MM-DD — REQUIRED for EVENT and OFFER
topicTypeNodefault STANDARD
actionTypeNothe button on the Post
couponCodeNoOFFER only
locationIdNowhich listing, e.g. 'locations/123' from list_business_locations — only needed when the account manages more than one
languageCodeNoBCP-47 language of the Post, default 'en'
redeemOnlineUrlNoOFFER only — this is the link Google actually uses on an offer
termsConditionsNoOFFER only

    • changedInput schema / properties / hook / description
      Previous value: -"WHAT ANGLE THIS POST IS BUILT ON — the single most valuable field here, and the only moment it can ever be recorded. post_performance groups on it to answer \"which hooks work\", and it needs 5 posts sharing ONE hook before it will call anything a winner, so REUSE THE SAME WORDING across a campaign instead of rephrasing it every time. Best of all, pass a hook id from list_hooks (e.g. \"direct_callout\", \"mid_problem\", \"before_after\") — those fold onto a stable key however they are spelled, so a whole brand accumulates evidence on one row. Your own wording is fine too; it just only groups when you repeat it exactly. Omitting it means this post can never vote on which hook works."New value: +"WHAT ANGLE this post is built on, recorded only at publish time. post_performance ranks hooks on it (a winner needs 5 posts sharing ONE hook), so pass a list_hooks id (e.g. \"direct_callout\", \"before_after\") or reuse your own wording EXACTLY across a campaign.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=false, openWorldHint=true, but the description goes well beyond them: it says the post publishes 'immediately and publicly on the business listing,' spells the required auth/connection, and discloses per-topic behavioral quirks (EVENT/OFFER require title+startDate; OFFER ignores the button link; CALL dials the listing number and takes no link). That is meaningful context the structured fields cannot carry.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Dense but well front-loaded: the publish action and public/destructive consequence come first, then location, then per-topic-type rules. Nearly every sentence is an actionable constraint, though the run-on em-dash sentences and repeated EVENT/OFFER requirement cost it a perfect score.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a zero-required-param, non-idempotent, publicly-publishing mutation with no output schema, the description covers the operational essentials an agent needs — confirmation workflow, multi-location disambiguation, per-topicalType requirements, CTA/link interactions, and the connection prerequisite — leaving no obvious gap that would cause a bad call.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With 18 parameters at 100% schema description coverage, the schema already documents each field in depth (hook/recipe/subject grouping semantics, imageUrl sources, enum defaults). The description largely restates those rules (OFFER-only redeemOnlineUrl, CALL has no link) rather than adding net-new per-parameter syntax, so the baseline 3 applies despite a couple of cross-field conditions it clarifies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb (publish) and resource (Post to the brand's Google Business Profile), and immediately defines what that surface is ('the panel that appears on Google Search and Maps'). The media envelope (text, ONE PHOTO, no video) and CTA button are named up front, so an agent can distinguish this from post_to_linkedin/post_to_meta/post_to_x siblings without opening a schema.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly gates the call: 'show the user the exact text, photo and button and get an explicit yes BEFORE calling,' and 'If the account manages several listings, call list_business_locations first and pass locationId.' It also names the prerequisite connection path (Settings > Connectors > Google Business Profile), leaving nothing to inference.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
