MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

High Risk

The most dangerous Google Ads MCP Server tools

Write · High create_conversion_action Creating a conversion action modifies Google Ads account configuration by establishing new tracking metrics. Write · High create_responsive_display_ad This tool creates new advertising content and commits the account to new ad placements. Write · Medium enable_campaign This tool modifies campaign status, a critical business configuration, but the operation is reversible (campaigns can be paused again). Write · High update_campaign_budget This tool modifies campaign budget settings, which is a write operation (reversible configuration change).

4 of Google Ads MCP Server's 11 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

{
  "create_conversion_action": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "create_conversion_action_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "export_report": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "export_report_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

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

Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
