discover_keywords hits RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED (429) via gRPC — REST v23 has higher quota
firstly, thank you for a great product!
discover_keywords uses the Google Ads Python client library (gRPC transport) to call KeywordPlanIdeaService.GenerateKeywordIdeas. This quota bucket exhausts quickly — we hit it reliably with sequential single-geo calls (not parallel). The REST v23 endpoint for the same method has a higher quota and works without issue.
Steps to reproduce: Call mcp__adloop__discover_keywords multiple times (5–10 sequential calls with different geo_target_id values).…

run_ga4_report — dimensions and metrics parameters fail Pydantic validation when passed as JSON arrays
So odd but I am reporting what Claude is sharing is an issue. I have been having trouble getting to share back some data that requires run_ga4_report. Continues to complain about parameters. I tried with the latest version of AdLoop released today and because this is in Cowork that I experienced this, I copied to the rules shared to an AdLoop skill. So very curious if indeed this is an issue and hope I'm not just making noise here.
Tool: mcp__adloop__run_ga4_report…

draft_responsive_search_ad does not support headline pinning (pinnedField)
When creating RSAs via draft_responsive_search_ad, all headlines are created unpinned regardless of intended position. The Google Ads API supports pinnedField (values: HEADLINE_1, HEADLINE_2, HEADLINE_3) on AdTextAsset. Please expose a pins parameter — e.g. {"H1": "HEADLINE_1", "H2": "HEADLINE_1"} — so users can define pin positions on creation without needing a manual UI step.

Inquiry: Claude rules and commands
After install and init, is there something I need to do to make the Claude rules and commands available to Claude? Does not seem like they are out of the box and noticed you have a roadmap item for easier Claude install. Using this MCP in Cowork and chat currently.

update_campaign: geo_target_ids array serialisation fails + no support for exclusions
Bug 1 — Array parameter received as string
Calling update_campaign with geo_target_ids always fails with:
1 validation error for call[update_campaign]
geo_target_ids
Input should be a valid list [type=list_type, input_value='["2840"]', input_type=str]
The MCP bridge serialises the list to a string before the tool receives it, regardless of whether values are strings or integers. The tool never receives a Python list, making geo_target_ids completely unusable.
Bug 2 — No…

update_ad_group: max_cpc error message misleading for automated bidding campaigns
When calling update_ad_group with max_cpc on a campaign using Maximize Clicks (TARGET_SPEND), the tool returns: "max_cpc requires an ad group in a MANUAL_CPC campaign". The refusal may be intentional — ad group CPC bids are completely ignored by Maximize Clicks per Google's own documentation (effective_cpc_bid_micros = 0, campaign ceiling is the only active constraint). But the error message implies a technical limitation rather than clarifying this. Suggested improvement: return something like…

Wrong language IDs in the shipped Common Language IDs table — silently mistargets campaigns (1003/1004/1005/1009/1014)
Summary
The Common Language IDs reference table in the shipped orchestration rules maps five of its eight language constants to the wrong language. Because these rules are installed into the AI assistant's context (adloop install-rules), an assistant that trusts the table will configure campaigns with the wrong languageConstant — and Google Ads accepts it silently. There is no error, no warning, and the campaign looks perfectly healthy in the UI.
The table as shipped…

deleted_client: The OAuth client was deleted. — fix for AdLoop ≤0.9 (retired shared sign-in)
If AdLoop suddenly stopped working with an error like one of these, you're in the right place:
deleted_client: The OAuth client was deleted.
invalid_client: The OAuth client was not found.
RefreshError: ('deleted_client: The OAuth client was deleted.', ...)
What happened
AdLoop versions ≤0.9 shipped with built-in OAuth credentials backed by a shared Google Cloud project. That project hit Google's lifetime 100-user cap for unverified apps long ago and was retired in v0.10…

gaql.py: run_gaql overwrites Google's real error message and drops nested-message values (v23)
Summary
Two reliability bugs in src/adloop/ads/gaql.py cause run_gaql (and every read tool built on execute_query) to surface misleading error messages and drop nested-message field values. Both were found while querying Google Ads API v23.
Bug 1 — _parse_gaql_error overwrites Google's real error message with a static hint
File: src/adloop/ads/gaql.py (current main, around lines 65–99)
_parse_gaql_error matches a known code as a substring of…

[Potential Vulnerability] adloop fetches a caller-controlled URL with no scheme/host validation — SSRF + local-file access via final_url
Summary
adloop is an MCP server giving an AI assistant read/write access to Google Ads + GA4. Several of its "draft" tools accept a final_url (the destination URL of an ad / sitelink) and, as a convenience, verify the URL is reachable before creating the ad. That verification (_validate_urls) passes the caller-supplied URL straight to urllib.request.urlopen() with no scheme allowlist and no host/IP filtering.
Because the URL comes directly from an MCP tool argument…

Bug: attach_shared_set_to_campaigns fails with partial_failure error
Tool: attach_shared_set_to_campaigns → confirm_and_apply
Steps to reproduce
- Call attach_shared_set_to_campaigns with any valid shared_set_id and campaign_ids — returns plan_id successfully
- Call confirm_and_apply(plan_id, dry_run=false) — throws error
Error
CampaignSharedSetServiceClient.mutate_campaign_shared_sets() got an unexpected keyword argument 'partial_failure'
Root cause
The server passes partial_failure=True as a keyword argument to…

update_campaign with geo_target_ids silently removes negative geo exclusions
Calling update_campaign with a geo_target_ids list replaces ALL campaign location criteria, including negative exclusions. In our case, adding a new country to positive targets silently removed a USA negative exclusion (criterion 2840, negative=True). This was only caught by running a post-change GAQL verification query. Expected behaviour: geo_target_ids should replace only positive targets, leaving negative criteria intact. Or at minimum, warn that existing negative criteria will be removed…

Claude Code doesn't "know" where "Config.YAML" exists, further cannot advise "require_dry_run: false" is required to continue.
