google_ads_recommendations_apply

Apply a specific Google Ads recommendation by resource name to commit its proposed campaign change immediately; this action is irreversible, so list candidates first.

Instructions

Apply one Google Ads recommendation by resource name. Returns {resource_name} of the applied recommendation. Mutating — the underlying change (new keyword, ad copy, bidding strategy switch, etc.) is committed to the campaign immediately and is NOT reversible through this tool. The resource_name format 'customers//recommendations/' is re-validated server-side to prevent injection. To list candidates use google_ads_recommendations_list; some recommendation types also change budget, device, or schedule settings.

Input 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.
approvalNoExternal approval this change carries out (recorded and shown, never verified)
expectedNoExpected effects [{metric, direction, target?, horizon_days?, primary?}], exactly one primary:true when several; metric cpa/cpc/cpl/cpm/conversions/cvr/ctr/roas/cost/spend/clicks/impressions; direction up/down/hold.
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.
decision_idNoA proposed decision this change carries out.
resource_nameYesRecommendation resource name exactly as returned by google_ads_recommendations_list (format: 'customers/<cid>/recommendations/<rid>'). Re-validated against a strict regex before submission.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden and does so well: it declares the mutation is committed immediately, is NOT reversible through this tool, and that resource_name is server-side re-validated to prevent injection. It omits permission/scope requirements and rate-limit behavior, keeping it below a 5.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Front-loads the core action and the mutating warning in the first sentences with no filler. The trailing clause about budget/device/schedule is slightly peripheral but still useful; overall tight and well-ordered.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a six-param mutation tool with nested approval/expected objects and 100% schema coverage, the description supplies the critical risk and reversibility context an agent needs. The absence of an output schema is covered because the description states the return ('{resource_name} of the applied recommendation').

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 all six parameters including reason, expected, approval, and customer_id. The description only re-states the resource_name format, adding no meaning beyond the schema, so the baseline 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?

States a specific verb ('Apply') and resource ('one Google Ads recommendation by resource name'), and explicitly names the sibling google_ads_recommendations_list as the way to discover candidates. An agent can distinguish this mutation tool from the read-only listing tool without opening either schema.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Explicitly routes the agent to google_ads_recommendations_list for candidates and warns that some recommendation types touch budget/device/schedule, hinting at scope. It stops short of stating exclusions or prerequisites (e.g., when applying is inappropriate), so it is strong context rather than a full decision rule.

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