What is appstore-ads-operator?

A command-line operating guide for Apple Ads, the advertising system for App Store apps. It covers separate authentication, organizations, campaigns, ad groups, creatives, keywords, reports, and API requests.

Use it to inspect Apple Ads accounts and campaigns, check access, retrieve reports, and prepare or manage advertising resources. Live changes require the organization and resource type to be named and approved.

It reduces the risk of using the wrong Apple account, organization, or request fields. It also sets a review step before changes are made to live advertising resources.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium

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 →

Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.

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	$0.00038	$0.00887
Opus 5	$0.00019	$0.00443
Sonnet 5	$0.00008	$0.00177
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00089

Security

Grade A, and why

appstore-ads-operator 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 10d 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.

App Store Ads Operator

Apple Ads auth is separate from App Store Connect auth. Start read-only and require approval before live mutations.

Ground Rules

Check asc ads --help or subgroup help before scripting.
Use --output json for automation.
Most commands need an org ID; prefer --org, or set ASC_ADS_ORG_ID.
Never guess payload fields. Put Apple Ads JSON in files and pass --file.
Do not mutate until the user names the org and approves the resource type.

Auth And Org

asc ads auth login --name "Marketing" --client-id "$ASC_ADS_CLIENT_ID" \
  --team-id "$ASC_ADS_TEAM_ID" --key-id "$ASC_ADS_KEY_ID" \
  --private-key "$ASC_ADS_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH" --org "$ASC_ADS_ORG_ID" --network

export ASC_ADS_CLIENT_ID="SEARCHADS_CLIENT_ID"
export ASC_ADS_TEAM_ID="SEARCHADS_TEAM_ID"
export ASC_ADS_KEY_ID="KEY_ID"
export ASC_ADS_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH="$HOME/.asc/apple-ads-private-key.pem"
export ASC_ADS_ORG_ID="123456"

asc ads auth status --validate --output json
asc ads auth doctor --output json
asc ads me view --output json
asc ads acls --output json

Org precedence: --org, ASC_ADS_ORG_ID, stored profile org_id, config ads.org_id.

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.
