What it does

Get Cids Under Mcc is an agent skill from googleads/google-ads-api-developer-assistant. Retrieves a list of all child customer account IDs (CIDs) under a given Manager Account (MCC).

It sits in Marketing & SEO. It works with Google Ads. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Marketing & SEO work in your project

Example prompts

  • “Use the get-cids-under-mcc skill to retrieve a list of all child customer account IDs (CIDs) under a given Manager Account (MCC)”
  • “/get-cids-under-mcc”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify MCC ID: Search the session context or user prompt for the Manager Account ID (MCC). If not explicitly provided, ask the user to…
  2. Execute Retrieval: Run the retrieval script in the python environment
  3. Output Processing

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dbb730a. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Get Cids Under Mcc loads about 379 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 161 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~28
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~379

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Get CIDs Under MCC

Use this skill to retrieve the hierarchy of child accounts under a Google Ads Manager Account (MCC). This is useful when you need to perform operations across multiple client accounts or understand the account structure.

Protocol

  1. Identify MCC ID: Search the session context or user prompt for the Manager Account ID (MCC). If not explicitly provided, ask the user to provide the MCC ID before proceeding.

  2. Execute Retrieval: Run the retrieval script in the python environment:

    • To get a summary count only:

      bash
      python3 skills/get-cids-under-mcc/scripts/get_cids_under_mcc.py --customer_id <mcc_id> --api_version <api_version>
    • To print the detailed list to console:

      bash
      python3 skills/get-cids-under-mcc/scripts/get_cids_under_mcc.py --customer_id <mcc_id> --api_version <api_version> --print_cids
    • To save the list to a CSV file (saved in ~/saved/data/):

      bash
      python3 skills/get-cids-under-mcc/scripts/get_cids_under_mcc.py --customer_id <mcc_id> --api_version <api_version> --save_csv
  3. Output Processing:

    • If --print_cids was used, parse the console output to get the CIDs, their depth level, and whether they are sub-managers.
    • If --save_csv was used, verify the file was created.
