google_ads_budget_reallocation

Generate a budget reallocation plan by cutting up to 20% from inefficient campaigns and redistributing freed budget equally across efficient campaigns, with campaign-level proposed budgets and reasons.

Instructions

Propose a budget reallocation plan by cutting up to 20% from INEFFICIENT campaigns and distributing the freed amount equally across EFFICIENT campaigns. Returns the full google_ads_budget_efficiency payload plus {reallocation_plan:[{campaign_id, campaign_name, action ('DECREASE'|'INCREASE'), current_daily_budget, proposed_daily_budget, change_amount, reason}], total_freed, summary}. When the account has no campaigns with spend in the window, the response short-circuits to just {...efficiency payload, reallocation_plan:[], summary:'No campaigns with spend in period'} and the total_freed key is omitted — parse defensively. Reductions below 100 (currency units) are skipped. Current daily budgets are fetched via get_budget — failures fall back to 0. Read-only — emits a plan only, does not apply any budget changes. To actually apply a change use google_ads_budget_update; for the efficiency scoring alone use google_ads_budget_efficiency.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
periodNoReporting window for the metrics. Default 'LAST_30_DAYS'. Use a shorter window (LAST_7_DAYS / LAST_14_DAYS) when diagnosing recent changes; use LAST_90_DAYS for trend baselines. Also accepts an explicit range in GAQL spelling — "BETWEEN 'YYYY-MM-DD' AND 'YYYY-MM-DD'", both endpoints inclusive, in the account's time zone — for a window no trailing constant can reach (e.g. a single past calendar month). One asymmetry to know about: every constant except LAST_90_DAYS is resolved by Google Ads in the account's reporting time zone, whereas LAST_90_DAYS has no API constant and is expanded by mureo into the 90 days ending yesterday **on the server's date**, so its edges can differ by a day when the server and the account are in different zones. Pass an explicit range when the exact boundary matters.
customer_idNoGoogle Ads customer ID as a 10-digit string without dashes (e.g. '1234567890'). Optional — falls back to GOOGLE_ADS_CUSTOMER_ID / GOOGLE_ADS_LOGIN_CUSTOMER_ID from the configured credentials when omitted.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden — and it excels. It discloses read-only behavior, short-circuit response when no spend, omitted total_freed key, the 100-unit minimum reduction rule, and fallback to 0 when get_budget fails. These are exactly the behavioral quirks an agent needs to know.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is dense but every sentence earns its place: core behavior, return shape, edge-case short-circuit, skip rule, data-source fallback, read-only status, and sibling routing. Nothing is redundant, and the most important information is front-loaded.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a tool with no annotations and no output schema, this description is remarkably complete. It covers return structure, omitted keys, failure fallbacks, minimum thresholds, and sibling distinctions. An agent has enough context to invoke it safely and parse its response defensively.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the schema already fully documents both parameters with detailed descriptions. The tool description adds no additional parameter-level meaning beyond what the schema provides, so the baseline of 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific verb ('Propose'), a specific resource ('budget reallocation plan'), and the exact algorithm (cut up to 20% from inefficient campaigns, distribute equally across efficient ones). It clearly differentiates itself from siblings by naming google_ads_budget_update and google_ads_budget_efficiency.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explicitly says when not to use it: 'To actually apply a change use google_ads_budget_update; for the efficiency scoring alone use google_ads_budget_efficiency.' This gives an agent clear routing guidance and distinguishes the planning-only behavior from execution and scoring tools.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
