## Description

Remove an entire table, structure and contents, from the document. Use this to clear a table completely, including an empty table left behind after its text was removed. Set **Table Number** to pick which table to remove (1 = first top-level table in the document, in reading order; a table nested inside another table's cell doesn't count separately). Use **Get Document** first if you need to confirm how many tables exist. This also works on a table linked to a Google Sheet, since removal is treated as ordinary content deletion. Use **Find Document** to resolve a document's name to its ID. In a multi-tab document, set **Tab ID** to choose which tab to delete from — without it the first tab's tables are the ones counted and removed; use **List Tabs** to get the IDs. [See the documentation](https://developers.google.com/docs/api/reference/rest/v1/documents/request#DeleteContentRangeRequest)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `documentId` | `string` | Yes | The ID of the Google Doc. This is the long string in the document's URL: https://docs.google.com/document/d/{DOCUMENT_ID}/edit. Use Find Document to resolve a document's name to its ID. |
| `tableIndex` | `integer` | No | Which table to delete, counting top-level tables in reading order (1 = first table). Defaults to 1, the common case of removing the only table. In a multi-tab document, tables are counted within the tab named by Tab ID, or within the first tab when that is omitted. |
| `tabId` | `string` | No | For a multi-tab document, the ID of the tab to write into (e.g. t.0). Get tab IDs from List Tabs, or use the ID returned by Create Tab. Omit to write into the document's first tab — the Google Docs API sends every untargeted edit there, so pass this whenever the document has more than one tab. |

## Run it

**MCP**

```ts
import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js"
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js"
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const accessToken = await pd.rawAccessToken

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
  {
    requestInit: {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
        "x-pd-project-id": process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
        "x-pd-environment": "production",
        "x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
        "x-pd-app-slug": "google_docs",
      },
    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "google_docs-delete-table",
  arguments: {
    documentId: "Document ID",
    tableIndex: 10,
  },
})
```

**TypeScript**

```ts
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "google_docs-delete-table",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    google_docs: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    documentId: "Document ID",
    tableIndex: 10,
  },
})

console.log(result)
