What it is: An MCP tool that connects Google Ads with Claude AI/Cursor and others, allowing you to analyze your advertising data through natural language conversations. This integration gives you access to campaign information, performance metrics, keyword analytics, and ad management—all through simple chat with Claude, Cursor or Windsurf.

No dangerous patterns were detected: no credential exfiltration, no obfuscated downloads, no sandbox-escape attempts, no prompt-injection markers.

This is AgentSkillsHub's free basic audit: an automated rule-based scan with 42 published rules built on SlowMist's agent-security taxonomy (credential theft, obfuscated payloads, privilege escalation, covert instructions to the agent, and more) across 186,000+ open-source AI agent skills and MCP servers, refreshed every 8 hours. A SAFE grade is a scan result, not a guarantee — deep 5-dimension audits (code · credentials · vendor · supply-chain · operational) are available for enterprise. Audited: 2026-10-24.
