Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

google-ads-benchmark-database 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 1mo 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.

Benchmark Database

Complete database with Google Ads KPI benchmarks per industry, campaign type, and region for performance comparison and goal setting.

How to Pull Live Account Data First

Before applying benchmarks, pull actual account data via MCP to ground the comparison:

google_ads_run_gaql(query="
  SELECT campaign.name, campaign.advertising_channel_type,
         metrics.clicks, metrics.impressions, metrics.ctr,
         metrics.average_cpc, metrics.conversions,
         metrics.cost_per_conversion, metrics.conversions_value,
         metrics.cost_micros
  FROM campaign
  WHERE segments.date DURING LAST_30_DAYS
    AND campaign.status = 'ENABLED'
  ORDER BY metrics.cost_micros DESC
  LIMIT 20
")

Compare the output against the benchmarks below to identify gaps.

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.
