What is ads-microsoft?

A detailed audit tool for Microsoft Ads, the advertising platform that includes Bing search ads and related placements. It reviews search campaigns, Performance Max, the Audience Network, Google Ads imports, and Copilot-related settings.

Use it to review Microsoft or Bing ad accounts, validate Google Ads imports, check UET tracking, assess search-partner and audience-network use, and examine campaign structure and bids.

It helps find tracking, import, network, campaign-structure, and bidding problems specific to Microsoft Ads. It also compares the account setup with Microsoft-focused checks and benchmarks.

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	$0.00073	$0.01386
Opus 5.5	$0.00029	$0.00554
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00015	$0.00277

Security

Grade A, and why

ads-microsoft 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.

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.
