What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a062fb4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
mcp__cogny__google_ads__tool_list_accessible_accountsmcp__cogny__google_ads__tool_execute_gaqlmcp__cogny__google_ads__tool_get_gaql_docmcp__cogny__create_findingmcp__cogny__write_context_nodemcp__cogny__read_context_nodeWebFetch
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are sql and json).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
cogny.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Google Ads Monitor loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 426 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 426 words (~1,444 tokens).
“A recurring weekly check that makes sure your ads are still running smoothly. It catches the things that break quietly — a disapproved ad, tracking that stopped firing, a campaign that started overspending — and reports week-over-week so you see…”
