Short answer

How can I use AI to track my Criteo budgets?

Your agent uses the Criteo Marketing API to pull active budget levels and campaign statuses. You can ask it to identify which specific campaigns are nearing their spending limits. This gives you a direct way to catch overspending before it happens.

Where every issue lands.

Budget monitoring outcomes

The AI organizes your spend data into these specific areas.

BUDGET

Active budget tracking

The agent pulls current spending levels from your account. You get a clear view of how much money is left in each bucket.

LIMITS

Cap detection

Your AI identifies campaigns that are hitting their maximum spend. It flags these so you can adjust or pause them.

STATUS

Campaign health

The agent checks if campaigns are active or paused. This ensures your budget is actually being applied to live ads.

HUMAN

Manual adjustments

The AI identifies the problem, but you decide whether to change the budget. You maintain full control over the actual spending decisions.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The agent moves through your Criteo account to find and report spend discrepancies.

  1. Pull budget data

    The agent scans your account to see how much money is allocated to current marketing efforts.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI change my campaign budgets?

    No. The AI can only read your budget data and report on it. You must log in to Criteo to actually change any spending amounts.

  • 02

    Can the AI pause a campaign if it hits a limit?

    No. The AI identifies when a campaign hits a limit, but it does not have the capability to modify or pause campaigns.

  • 03

    How often does the AI check my spend?

    The AI checks your spend whenever you ask it to. It does not run on a schedule unless you set up a separate automation in your AI client.

  • 04

    Does the AI see all my Criteo data?

    The AI only sees the data provided by the specific tools in this MCP, which are focused on budgets, campaigns, and campaign details.

  • 05

    Can I ask about specific campaign names?

    Yes. If you know the name of the campaign, you can ask the AI to look up its specific details and budget status.
