Why run_inventory_report needs a policy

The name 'run_inventory_report' suggests executing a report generation operation in Google Ad Manager. 'Run' implies triggering an external operation or computation. In ad management context, inventory reports query ad serving data and produce output, which maps to Execute. However, with no description, confidence is low — it could be a simple Read operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'run_inventory_report' — description is empty and uninformative.

POLICY

How to control run_inventory_report

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Google Ad Manager MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for run_inventory_report:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "run_inventory_report": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "run_inventory_report_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

run_inventory_report stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Google Ad Manager MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
