What it does

Data Manager API Setup is an agent skill from google/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Guides developers through client library installation and authentication setup steps for the Data Manager API. Use this skill when a user is getting started with the Data Manager API and needs to setup their local environment, install the client library, or setup access to the API. Don't use for implementing audience or event ingestion logic (use the data-manager-api-audience-ingestion or data-manager-api-event-ingestion skills instead).

Its SKILL.md is about 700 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `references/dotnet.md`, `references/java.md` and `references/node.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Authentication. It works with Google Ads and Google Cloud. The repository describes itself as: Agent Skills for Google products and technologies. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • A user is getting started with the Data Manager API and needs to setup their local environment
  • Install the client library
  • Setup access to the API
  • Implementing audience

Example prompts

  • “Use the data-manager-api-setup skill to guide developers through client library installation and authentication setup steps for the Data Manager API”
  • “/data-manager-api-setup”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Enable API (Prerequisite): Check that the user has enabled the Data
  2. Generate ADC: Authenticate the local workspace using Application

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8a1ac05. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gcloud

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • googleapis.com

    Also links to:

    • developers.google.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

Data Manager API Setup loads about 704 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 116 tokens; SKILL.md has 204 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~116
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~704
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.4k

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.

Data Manager API Setup

Setup Authentication

Refer to Set up API access for more details.

  1. Enable API (Prerequisite): Check that the user has enabled the Data Manager API in their Google Cloud project.
  2. Generate ADC: Authenticate the local workspace using Application Default Credentials (ADC) via gcloud auth application-default login.
    • Required Scopes: Include scopes https://www.googleapis.com/auth/datamanager and https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform.
    • Multi-API Scopes: If using the same credentials for other APIs, append their scopes (e.g., https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords).
    • Service Accounts: Ensure the Service Account has the Service Usage Consumer IAM role, and the user executing gcloud has the Token Creator role (roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator) on that Service Account for impersonation.

Install Client & Utility Libraries

Refer to Install a client library for more details.

The companion utility libraries provide pre-built helper classes and functions to correctly format, hash, and encrypt user identifiers (such as emails, phone numbers, and physical addresses) prior to API ingestion. Use of these libraries is highly recommended to ensure that user identifier formatting matches the API's specifications.
