Google Ads Overview
google-ads connects AI clients to the Google Ads API, including manager accounts and multiple client accounts. It detects the active client from the working directory, then exposes tools for campaign discovery, reporting, keyword research, search-term analysis, diagnostics, experiments, and GAQL queries. New changes are read-only by default or created paused, with explicit configuration required before mutating tools become available. Use it for account analysis, campaign troubleshooting, and controlled Google Ads workflows.
Primary Use Cases for Google Ads:

- Diagnose campaigns with low spend or missing impressions
- Inspect search queries and search-term categories
