Can I check the real-time performance of a specific campaign?

Yes! Use the `get_campaign_performance` tool with the Campaign ID. Your agent will fetch the latest KPIs including impressions, clicks, and spend directly from the Basis analytics engine.

How do I list all active tactics for my account?

Simply ask the agent to `list_tactics`. It will retrieve the execution-level line items, showing their status and basic configuration for your review.

Does this integration allow making changes to my budgets?

Currently, the toolset is focused on querying and analysis (Read-Only). You can list and inspect campaigns, tactics, and performance, but budget adjustments must be performed within the Basis DSP platform for security.
