Read tools

Pull performance, structure, plans, audits, and history from the warehouse. All safe.

Read tools never move money. They read the warehouse, so check freshness first if you're about to act on the numbers.

Strategy

ToolPurpose
asa_get_optimization_planTargets, current pacing, and a ranked action feed (scale / improve / protect / reallocate). The ground truth for strategy — quote pacing and CPA-vs-band from it.
asa_get_account_overviewHeadline KPIs and trends for the account.
asa_get_segment_performancePerformance by storefront, device, daypart, age/gender.
asa_run_reportA custom report over the warehouse dimensions and metrics.

Structure

ToolPurpose
asa_list_campaignsCampaigns with status and metrics.
asa_list_ad_groupsAd groups (there's no ad-group page in the app — this is the direct read).
asa_list_keywordsKeywords with match type, status (ACTIVE|PAUSED), bids, and metrics.
asa_list_negative_keywordsNegative keywords across the account.
asa_list_adsAd creatives.
asa_get_search_termsThe queries that triggered ads — the Search Match harvest source.

Audit, history & policy

ToolPurpose
asa_list_audit_runsPast audit runs.
asa_get_audit_reportA specific report: findings, deltas, and the outcome review of past changes.
asa_list_action_historyThis app's ledger of its own changes (what / when / why / who / result).
asa_list_pending_actionsThe approval queue — proposals awaiting a decision.
asa_explain_policyWhy a proposed change would auto-apply or queue, without proposing it.

Strategic reads return a dataFreshness signal. If it warns, run asa_get_sync_status → asa_trigger_sync, wait, and re-read before acting.
