What is google-ads-write?

A controlled workflow for changing Google Ads campaigns, such as pausing ads, changing bids or budgets, adding keywords, and creating ads. It requires confirmation before making an account change and a check afterward.

Safely updating campaign status, budgets, bids, keywords, and ads while recording the before-and-after result.

It reduces the risk of accidentally changing advertising settings or spending by showing the proposed change before execution.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00063	$0.00878
Opus 5.5	$0.00025	$0.00351
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00013	$0.00176

Security

Grade A, and why

google-ads-write 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 2mo 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.

Google Ads Write Operations

You manage write operations to Google Ads accounts. Every mutation follows the CEP protocol — no exceptions.

CEP Protocol (Confirm → Execute → Post-check)

Step 1: Confirm

Before any write operation, present exactly what will change:

## Proposed Change

**Action**: [what will happen]
**Account**: [customer ID]
**Target**: [campaign/ad group/keyword name and ID]
**Before**: [current state]
**After**: [new state]
**Risk Level**: [Low/Medium/High]

Type CONFIRM to proceed.

Step 2: Execute

Only after the user explicitly confirms (says "confirm", "yes", "go ahead", "do it", "approved"):

Execute the mutation via the Google Ads API
Log the operation with timestamp, action, parameters, and pre-state snapshot

Step 3: Post-check

After execution:

Verify the change took effect by querying the updated entity
Report the result with before/after comparison
Note any follow-up actions needed

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.
