google_ads_callouts_create

Create a callout asset for a Google Ads campaign and link it in one operation, returning the new asset's resource name or a validation error when the campaign has reached the 20-callout limit.

Instructions

Create a callout Asset and link it to a Google Ads campaign in a two-step mutate (AssetService then CampaignAssetService). Returns {resource_name} of the newly created asset, or {error:true, error_type:'validation_error', message} when the campaign already has 20 callouts (_MAX_CALLOUTS_PER_CAMPAIGN limit). Mutating — reversible only by google_ads_callouts_remove. The asset is minted per call, so identical text creates duplicate asset rows. For sitelink variants use google_ads_sitelinks_create.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
reasonNoWhy this change is being made: one or two sentences naming the evidence and the expected effect. Stored in the journal and on the action_log entry this call produces, for the operator and the next session.
campaign_idYesCampaign ID as a numeric string without dashes (e.g. '23743184133'). Obtain via google_ads_campaigns_list.
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.
callout_textYesCallout text shown below the ad (e.g. 'Free shipping', '24/7 support'). Google Ads limit: 25 characters.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

With no annotations present, the description fully carries behavioral disclosure: it is a two-step mutating operation, returns either a resource_name or a specific validation error for the 20-callout limit, and creates duplicate asset rows per call. These are material behavioral details an agent needs to predict side effects.

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 compact, front-loaded with the primary purpose, and every sentence carries essential information: mechanism, return shape, error condition, reversibility, duplication risk, and sibling routing. No filler or redundancy.

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?

Although there is no output schema, the description explicitly documents the success response and the error response shape. It also covers side effects, mutation risk, the per-campaign limit, and the alternative tool, making it complete enough for an agent to call safely and interpret results.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents campaign_id, callout_text, customer_id, and reason. The description adds context about the 20-callout limit and duplication behavior, but it does not add new parameter-level meaning beyond the schema.

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 clearly states the tool's action: create a callout asset and link it to a Google Ads campaign, including the precise service sequence (AssetService then CampaignAssetService). It differentiates this tool from sibling google_ads_sitelinks_create by explicitly directing sitelink variants elsewhere.

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 provides explicit routing guidance: sitelink variants should use google_ads_sitelinks_create, and reversibility is only through google_ads_callouts_remove. This gives the agent clear conditions for when this tool is and is not the right choice.

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