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_accounts
    • mcp__cogny__google_ads__tool_execute_gaql
    • mcp__cogny__google_ads__tool_get_gaql_doc
    • mcp__cogny__google_ads__tool_get_reporting_view_doc
    • mcp__cogny__create_finding
    • WebFetch
    • WebSearch

    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

Search Campaign Audit loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 414 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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 414 words (~1,693 tokens).

“A deep audit of your Google Ads Search campaigns — the campaign type where you still control keywords, match types, and ads directly. Finds quality-score drags, wasted match-type spend, negative gaps, and weak ads.”
