Manage Campaign Budgets and Status

Set goals like 'Spend $50 less next week' and let Cascade figure out the steps. It can `ads_list_campaigns` to find active campaigns, then use `ads_update_daily_budget` or `ads_pause_campaign` to make changes. This means you don't have to prompt for every single action; Windsurf autonomously handles the sequence of calls needed to manage your Walmart Connect Ads budget.

Optimize Keywords and Ad Groups

Need better visibility on what keywords are working? You can ask Cascade to `ads_get_keyword_performance` for a specific ad group ID. If the results show weak spots, it automatically uses `ads_add_keywords` to inject new, high-bid terms into your Sponsored Search campaign. It's about letting Windsurf handle the whole optimization loop—from reading performance data to updating keywords.

Generate Performance Reports

Get a full picture of how money is spending. Cascade handles generating reports using `ads_get_item_health_report` for various dimensions, like category or brand. It also pulls near real-time spend and click data using `ads_get_cpc_metrics`, giving you the metrics needed to decide if a campaign needs immediate attention.
