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-connect 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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 266 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

This skill handles the plumbing so the other skills can focus on strategy.

Read workspace if available:

  • workspace/ads/account.md

What This Skill Does

  1. Setup check — verifies the MCP server is configured and responsive
  2. Customer discovery — lists all accessible accounts with names and IDs
  3. Customer selection — helps the operator choose the right account
  4. Account fingerprint — pulls basic account metadata and writes to workspace
  5. Health check — validates that data is flowing and queries return results

Commands

/google-ads connect setup

Full onboarding flow: check MCP → discover accounts → select account → fingerprint. Use this the first time you connect.

/google-ads connect healthcheck

Quick validation: MCP alive? Account selected? Data flowing? Use this before an audit or when something feels broken.

/google-ads connect select [customer_id]

Switch to a different account. Updates workspace memory.


Step 1: Verify MCP Server

Test: Call list_accessible_customers via the google-ads-mcp MCP server.

If it succeeds:

✅ MCP server is live
   Accessible accounts: N

If it fails, diagnose:

Symptom Likely Cause Fix
MCP tool not found Server not configured in MCP host Add config — see data/mcp-config.md
"No credentials found" GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS missing or wrong path Check the env var points to a valid JSON file
"Developer token not approved" Token missing or pending Check GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN env var
"Project not found" Wrong project ID Use GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT (not GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID)
Connection timeout pipx or network issue Verify pipx is installed, internet is up
"Manager account required" MCC access needed Add GOOGLE_ADS_LOGIN_CUSTOMER_ID

Environment Variable Reference (Canonical)

Variable Required Purpose
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS Yes Path to OAuth/ADC credentials JSON
GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT Yes Google Cloud project ID (⚠️ NOT GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID)
GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN Yes Google Ads API developer token
GOOGLE_ADS_LOGIN_CUSTOMER_ID If MCC Manager account customer ID (no dashes)

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.
