What is google-ads-assistant-local?

A Google Ads API development assistant for inspecting and checking code that talks to Google’s advertising platform. It covers query analysis, account data, conversions, and generated Python code.

Use it to test Google Ads Query Language (GAQL) queries, inspect Protobuf API objects, retrieve manager-account hierarchies, check client-library versions, follow tutorials, and generate Ruff-checked Python code.

It helps catch query problems, inspect API objects, and diagnose conversion issues before changes reach live advertising accounts.

Security

Grade A, and why

google-ads-assistant-local scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
