Manage a Google Business Profile via Postproxy. Use when the user wants to edit their Google business listing (name, description, hours, photos, attributes, services, food menus, action links) or read and reply to Google reviews.
The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈0
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 8
Call profiles_list and pick the google_business profile if it isn't known.
- Very specific: line 9
Call profiles_placements — each location is returned as a full path accounts/X/locations/Y.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Manage a Google Business Profile location — the business listing itself, not posts (posts go through /postproxy:publish).
Resolve the location first:
- Call
profiles_listand pick thegoogle_businessprofile if it isn't known. - Call
profiles_placements— each location is returned as a full pathaccounts/X/locations/Y. That's thelocation_idevery tool needs.
Read before you write. Google's updates are field-masked and replace named fields wholesale (no merge). Fetch the current object, edit it, patch it back. Confirm destructive edits.
- Business info:
google_business_location_get→google_business_location_update. Thefieldslist names exactly what's being replaced; anything named but omitted is cleared. Categories are resource names (categories/gcid:...) resolved viagoogle_business_categories_list(needsregion_code;filtersearches by display name). - Hours:
google_business_hours_update— each named block (regularHours/specialHours/moreHours) is replaced entirely. - Attributes: always call
google_business_attributes_availablefirst (valid set + value types depend on category/region), thengoogle_business_attributes_updatematching eachvalueType(BOOL→values, URL→uriValues, ENUM→repeatedEnumValue). Read withgoogle_business_attributes_get. - Media:
google_business_media_list;google_business_media_createfetches from a public https URL (min 250×250, ≤5MB);google_business_media_deleteby resource name. - Action links:
google_business_place_action_links_list/_create/_update/_delete; acceptedplace_action_typevaries by category. - Services & food menus:
google_business_service_list_get/_updateandgoogle_business_food_menus_get/_updateare full replacements gated onmetadata.canModifyServiceList/canHaveFoodMenus(422 = unsupported for this location).
Reviews (profile-scoped, not on a post):
profile_comments_list(optionalplacement_idfilters to one location); reviews sync twice daily (06:00 & 18:00 UTC). Inspect one withprofile_comments_get.- Reply only —
profile_comments_createwithparent_id(the review) +text; no top-level comments; publishes async (pending→published/failed). profile_comments_deleteremoves only your reply; the review itself can't be deleted.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
