# Advanced tools

> Registry advanced (PMax / YouTube / Demand Gen) tools with live list_tools gate.

# Advanced tools

Tools marked `advanced: true` in the registry export cover **Performance Max**, **YouTube**, and **Demand Gen**.

<Warning>
  Advanced tools are visible in the catalog but are **not** the default MVP path.
  Skills and Search-first workflows prefer core Search / account tools.
  Confirm availability with live `list_tools` for your session before relying on these names.
