What is yandex-direct?

A reference guide for the Yandex Direct API, the programming interface for managing Yandex's online advertising campaigns. It covers the required software versions and supported campaign, keyword, ad, bid, and reporting operations.

Use it to create or update campaigns, change bids and strategies, manage keywords and ads, handle moderation states, and retrieve advertising reports.

It gives an agent concrete instructions for working with campaign data and account states instead of relying on incomplete or outdated API knowledge.

NVIDIA SkillSpector warn 7 Sept 2026

SkillSpector: 4 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

high Privilege Escalation · line 280
Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.

Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

Fix: Verify the destination URL is trusted and necessary. Remove or replace with documented APIs. Ensure no secrets, tokens, or PII are transmitted.

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	$0.00246	$0.06072
Opus 5.5	$0.00098	$0.02429
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00049	$0.01214
Haiku 4.5	$0.00025	$0.00607

Security

Grade A, and why

yandex-direct 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 315 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Version Requirements

Primary pins:

Yandex Direct API: v5 (stable, JSON over HTTPS; api.direct.yandex.com/json/v5/{service})
Sandbox: api-sandbox.direct.yandex.com/json/v5/{service}
Python: 3.14.x
Node.js: 24.x (Active LTS)

Verify against current Yandex Direct release notes before production use.

Usage

Loaded automatically when its description matches the active task. Read the section you need, then follow the link to the relevant reference file for full detail.

Use this skill when

Programmatic campaign management in Yandex.Direct: create, update, suspend, archive via CampaignsService
Bulk bid updates and strategy switching via BidsService / KeywordBidsService
Loading keywords with negatives and operators via KeywordsService; tracking Status / State transitions (DRAFT/MODERATION/ACCEPTED/REJECTED)
Creating and moderating ads (AdsService): TextAd, DynamicTextAd, MobileAppAd, ImageAd, CpcVideoAd, SmartAdBuilderAd
Pulling statistics through the Reports API (TSV) with processingMode (online/offline/auto), 201/202 polling honoring Retry-After
Working from an agency account: passing Client-Login per client, spending agency units via Use-Operator-Units: true
Testing integration in the sandbox at api-sandbox.direct.yandex.com without burning real budgets
Building your own client / connector (Python httpx, Node.js fetch) with units accounting, retry on 5xx/transient codes, manual idempotency
Integrating into CRM/dashboard: pull account structure, adjust CPC from conversion signals, sync negative keywords

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.
