Research ads
research_adsOpen-ended ad research that needs JUDGMENT across platforms — comparisons, "what angle is working", "who else is doing this", anything where the right sources are not known up front. It is an agentic loop (several rounds of library pulls plus a written synthesis) and typically takes 30-60 seconds, so it is the WRONG tool for a question that names its own answer. For one named brand’s live ads use pull_competitor_ads; for one keyword or one advertiser on Meta use search_meta_ads — both are a single call and return in a few seconds. Spends credits — an agentic loop, so a handful rather than the one-call cost of a targeted search.
