MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

High Risk

The most dangerous Google Ads MCP Server tools

Execute · High execute_query The tool name 'execute_query' on a Google Ads management server suggests the ability to run queries whose effects depend on the query arguments. Write · High add_keywords Adding keywords to Google Ads campaigns creates or modifies campaign configuration data reversibly. Write · High add_negative_keywords This tool modifies campaign keyword targeting by adding negative keywords (terms to exclude). Write · High create_ad_group Creating an ad group is a reversible write operation that modifies advertising account structure.

11 of Google Ads MCP Server's 12 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Google Ads MCP Server

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Google Ads MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Rate limit write operations

{
  "add_keywords": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "add_keywords_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "list_accounts": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "list_accounts_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.
