Find Microsoft location IDs (LocationCriterion) in Microsoft's current geographic targeting catalog: countries by ISO code, and regions or states, cities and postal codes by their English name within one country. Returns the Active candidates with their display names; a name with several candidates is ambiguous. Write "Springfield, Missouri" to name a city with its region. Read-only.

> **Note** Connect through Microsoft, then explicitly select the advertising accounts your assistant may access. Reads are available on Free; writes require an eligible paid plan.
