Lists ad groups in a Google Ads account, optionally scoped to
AI agents call google_ads_ad_groups_list to retrieve information from Mureo without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves existing ad group data from Google Ads without creating, modifying, or deleting anything. It is a read-only operation with no side effects. The blast radius of misuse is low: an agent could enumerate ad groups but cannot cause financial harm, data loss, or unauthorized changes.
