Can I pause or enable campaigns directly through the AI agent?

Currently, the tools focus on investigative queries and performance analysis. To change the status of a campaign or ad group, please use the Google Ads UI to ensure full budget and policy compliance.

How can I check which keywords are driving the most conversions?

You can use the `getKeywordPerformance` tool for a specific ad group. It will return metrics like clicks, impressions, and CTR for each keyword, allowing the AI to identify your top contributors.

Does this integration support multiple client accounts under a manager account?

Yes! Use the `list_accessible_customers` tool to see all accounts your credentials have access to. You can then specify the target Customer ID when running performance queries.
