# Capabilities

> What AdCue supports today, what stays Search-first, and how to verify tools at runtime.

# Capabilities

AdCue operates **Google Ads only** today.
Its primary path is Google Search, from account inspection through a paused campaign that you review before enabling.

## What you can do

| Capability               | Current scope                                                                                                     |
| ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Connect accounts         | Link Google Ads, expand direct client accounts under manager accounts, and choose a client primary                |
| Read and diagnose        | Inspect connection health, accounts, campaigns, structure, performance, search terms, and conversion tracking     |
| Plan Search campaigns    | Research keywords, resolve locations, review existing assets, and draft responsive search ads                     |
| Create and manage Search | Create paused Search campaigns, add extensions, manage keywords and ads, and update budgets or bids with approval |
| Optimize                 | Find wasted spend, analyze search terms, and propose budget changes before applying them                          |
| Use AI clients           | Call the same AdCue tool surface from entitled ChatGPT accounts and other clients covered by in-app Setup         |

<Note>
  Google Search is the primary, end-to-end workflow.
  New campaigns and ads created through AdCue land **PAUSED** so you can inspect them before they spend.
</Note>

## Read first

Start by confirming the account and current state:

1. Run `get_connections_status` or `list_connected_accounts`.
2. Run `list_campaigns` for the selected client account.
3. Inspect structure, performance, and conversion tracking before proposing a change.
4. Approve a write only after its target and expected effect are clear.

See the [Quickstart](/quickstart) for the ChatGPT activation path and the [Safety model](/mcp/safety) for write rules.

## Advanced Google Ads tools

The generated catalog currently marks **12 tools** for Performance Max, YouTube, and Demand Gen as advanced.
They remain visible in the [Tool catalog](/mcp/tools), but visibility in the docs is not a promise that every deployment or account can run every advanced path.

The live router is the runtime source of truth:

```json theme={null}
{ "action": "list_tools" }
```

Use only exact tool names and schemas returned by the live `google_ads` call.
If an advanced create tool is absent, treat it as unavailable and stay on the Search path rather than guessing a tool name.

## Not available as shipped capabilities

* Advertising platforms other than Google Ads
* A public advertising REST API
* AdCue-hosted server-side monitoring or scheduled campaign operations
* Automatic writes without user approval

Host-side scheduling offered by an AI client is separate from AdCue product monitoring.
It does not expand the MCP tool surface or authorize unattended writes.

## Capability checks

| ----------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Which tools can this session call?  | Live `google_ads` with `action: "list_tools"`                  |
| What parameters does a tool accept? | `get_tool_schema`                                              |
| Which account will tools target?    | `get_connections_status` and the client primary on Connections |
| Is a tool read-only or destructive? | Live schema and the registry-backed [Tool catalog](/mcp/tools) |
| What happens on create or remove?   | [Safety model](/mcp/safety)                                    |
