google_ads_get_campaign_insights
AI agents call google_ads_get_campaign_insights to retrieve information from Google Ads MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

However, the severity is elevated to 'medium' rather than 'low' because access to detailed campaign performance insights could be sensitive business intelligence (e.g., competitor campaigns, revenue/performance data, budgets).
