AI agents call get_ad_group_insights to retrieve information from OpenAI Ads MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves analytics or performance metrics for an ad group without modifying any data. While classified as Read (no side effects), it is assigned medium severity because insights from advertising accounts may contain sensitive business, financial, or strategic information (spend data, performance metrics, revenue figures) that could be valuable if extracted by an AI agent without authorization.
