Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00028 | $0.00212 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00085 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00042 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00021 |
Grade A, and why
validate-gaql 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.
What it actually says
Validate GAQL Skill
Before presenting or running any GAQL query, pass this 4-step sequence:
- Schema Discovery: Verify field existence, selectability, and filterability using
search_google_ads_fields. - Compatibility Check: Verify all selected fields are compatible with the primary resource.
- Static Analysis:
WHEREfields MUST be inSELECT(unless date segments).- NO
ORoperator: ReplaceORwithINor split into multiple queries. - NO
FROMin Metadata: Queries toGoogleAdsFieldServiceMUST NOT contain aFROMclause. - Segment Renames: In v23+,
segments.hourwas renamed tosegments.hour_of_day.
- Runtime Dry Run: Execute API dry-run search request against target customer ID.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

validate-gaql is a skill published in the GitHub repository googleads/google-ads-api-developer-assistant (102 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 212 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
