What it does

Pp Google Ad Manager is an agent skill from mvanhorn/printing-press-library. The only REST-native Google Ad Manager CLI: report, search, and manage publisher inventory from the terminal Trigger phrases: run a GAM report, google ad manager revenue by ad unit, check line item delivery in ad manager, search my ad manager inventory, what targeting does this order use, use google-ad-manager, run google ad manager.

Its SKILL.md is about 7.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs. The repository describes itself as: Official library of CLIs generated by the CLI Printing Press. Endorsed, tested, and community-contributed. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Phrases: run a GAM report
  • Google ad manager revenue by ad unit
  • Check line item delivery in ad manager
  • Search my ad manager inventory

Example prompts

  • “/pp-google-ad-manager”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash

Workflow steps

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

  1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and…
  2. Verify: google-ad-manager-pp-cli --version
  3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 76de244. 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:

    • Read
    • Bash

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • go
    • claude
    • npx
    • 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

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • GOOGLE_AD_MANAGER_ACCESS_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Pp Google Ad Manager loads about 7.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 3,013 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~93
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~7.7k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Bash

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.

Google Ad Manager — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the google-ad-manager-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:

  1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows:
    bash
    npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install google-ad-manager --cli-only
  2. Verify: google-ad-manager-pp-cli --version
  3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill.

If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer). This installs into $GOPATH/bin (default $HOME/go/bin), so add that directory to $PATH instead:

bash
go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/marketing/google-ad-manager/cmd/google-ad-manager-pp-cli@latest

If --version reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.

Wraps the Ad Manager REST v1 API with a local SQLite mirror, offline full-text search across inventory, targeting, and orders, and one-shot async report orchestration where report run chains create, run, poll, and fetch into a single command. Built for publisher ad-ops who want to observe and manage a GAM360 network without living in the console. Covers reporting, inventory and targeting management (including the writes the REST API supports), and orders, line-item, and PMP visibility; trafficking, forecasting, and creative creation remain in the legacy SOAP API and are intentionally out of scope.

When to Use This CLI

Use for observing and reporting on a Google Ad Manager (publisher) network: pulling revenue and delivery reports, browsing and searching inventory and custom targeting, checking order and line-item status, and inspecting PMP deals, plus the inventory and targeting writes the REST API supports. Ideal when an agent needs real GAM numbers or inventory context without navigating the web console, or when a question spans multiple entity types the UI keeps on separate screens.

Anti-triggers

Do not use this CLI for:

  • Google Ads / AdWords advertiser campaigns: that is a different product (the advertiser side) with a different API; use a Google Ads tool instead.
  • Booking or editing line items, orders, or creatives, or creating creative associations: those writes are SOAP-only and not supported here.
  • Availability or delivery forecasting: the forecast service is SOAP-only and out of scope.
  • Header-bidding or real-time-bidding configuration: not part of the Ad Manager REST API.

Unique Capabilities

These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API.

Async report orchestration

  • report run — Create, run, poll, and fetch every row of a GAM report in a single blocking command instead of the four-step UI slog.

    Reach for this whenever an agent needs actual GAM revenue or delivery numbers; it turns the hardest API workflow into one deterministic step.

    bash
    google-ad-manager-pp-cli report run --dimensions AD_UNIT_NAME,DATE --metrics IMPRESSIONS,REVENUE --date-range YESTERDAY --network 123456 --json

  • report rerun — Re-execute an existing saved report definition by ID and stream fresh rows, so the morning revenue pull is one short command.

    Use when the user references a named or standing report they run repeatedly; it replays a known-good definition without rebuilding it.

    bash
    google-ad-manager-pp-cli report rerun 988877 --network 123456 --agent

  • report watch — Re-run a saved report and diff it against the last cached run to surface what moved in revenue, impressions, or eCPM since yesterday.

    Reach for this to answer what changed or dropped overnight without an analyst manually eyeballing two exports.

    bash
    google-ad-manager-pp-cli report watch 988877 --metric 0 --threshold 15 --network 123456 --json

  • lineitem pace — Join read-only line-item goals against a delivery report to show each line item's pace versus goal, ranked by risk.

    Reach for this to let an agent triage which campaigns are at delivery risk without opening the delivery UI.

    bash
    google-ad-manager-pp-cli lineitem pace --order 554433 --date-range MONTH_TO_DATE --network 123456 --agent
Offline cross-entity intelligence

  • order graph — Expand one order into its line items (goal, type, flight dates) in one structured object.

    Reach for this to give an agent the complete picture of what a campaign actually touches in one structured object.

    bash
    google-ad-manager-pp-cli order graph 554433 --agent --select order.lineItems.id,order.lineItems.name --network 123456

  • since — Show which mirrored entities were added or changed (by updateTime) since a cutoff — a changelog the platform does not keep.

    Use to catch what trafficking or another team changed out from under you between two points in time.

    bash
    google-ad-manager-pp-cli since --since last-sync --network 123456 --json
Inventory hygiene

  • adunits tree — Render the full hierarchical ad-unit tree (or any subtree) from cache, with status and depth, in one offline call.

    Reach for this to orient an agent in the inventory hierarchy before it reasons about placements or subtree revenue.

    bash
    google-ad-manager-pp-cli adunits tree --root 21700000 --status ACTIVE --network 123456

  • inventory orphans — Tree-walk the ad-unit hierarchy to flag active units with no placement coverage.

    Use during inventory cleanups to hand an agent a concrete list of misconfigured or dead units to investigate.

    bash
    google-ad-manager-pp-cli inventory orphans --root 21700000 --network 123456 --json

Finding the right command

When you know what you want to do but not which command does it, ask the CLI directly:

bash
google-ad-manager-pp-cli which "<capability in your own words>"

which resolves a natural-language capability query to the best matching command from this CLI's curated feature index. Exit code 0 means at least one match; exit code 2 means no confident match — fall back to --help or use a narrower query.

Recipes

Yesterday's revenue by ad unit
bash
google-ad-manager-pp-cli report run --dimensions AD_UNIT_NAME,DATE --metrics IMPRESSIONS,REVENUE --date-range YESTERDAY --network 123456 --json

Builds, runs, polls, and fetches the report in one call and emits machine-readable rows.

google-ad-manager-pp-cli order graph 554433 --agent --select order.lineItems.id,order.lineItems.name --network 123456

Returns the order and its line items (goal, type, dates); --select narrows the nested response to the fields an agent needs.

What changed since the last sync
bash
google-ad-manager-pp-cli since --since last-sync --network 123456 --json

Surfaces entities added or changed (by updateTime) since the cutoff; refreshes live when --network is set. It cannot detect removals.

Auth Setup

Authenticate with a Google OAuth2 access token for the admanager scope (or admanager.readonly for read-only use). Set GOOGLE_AD_MANAGER_ACCESS_TOKEN, for example export GOOGLE_AD_MANAGER_ACCESS_TOKEN=$(gcloud auth print-access-token --scopes=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admanager.readonly), or mint one from a service account reused from your SOAP setup. Every command is scoped to a network code: set GOOGLE_AD_MANAGER_NETWORK_CODE or pass --network <code>. Access tokens are short-lived (about an hour); re-export when you see a 401.

Run google-ad-manager-pp-cli doctor to verify setup.

Agent Mode

Add --agent to any command. Expands to: --json --compact --no-input --no-color --yes.

  • Pipeable — JSON on stdout, errors on stderr

  • Filterable — --select keeps a subset of fields. Dotted paths descend into nested structures; arrays traverse element-wise. Critical for keeping context small on verbose APIs:

    bash
    google-ad-manager-pp-cli ad-breaks list mock-value --agent --select id,name,status

  • Previewable — --dry-run shows the request without sending

  • Offline-friendly — sync/search commands can use the local SQLite store when available

  • Non-interactive — never prompts, every input is a flag

  • Explicit retries — use --idempotent only when an already-existing create should count as success

Response envelope

Commands that read from the local store or the API wrap output in a provenance envelope:

json
{
  "meta": {"source": "live" | "local", "synced_at": "...", "reason": "..."},
  "results": <data>
}

Parse .results for data and .meta.source to know whether it's live or local. A human-readable N results (live) summary is printed to stderr only when stdout is a terminal AND no machine-format flag (--json, --csv, --compact, --quiet, --plain, --select) is set — piped/agent consumers and explicit-format runs get pure JSON on stdout.

Agent Feedback

When you (or the agent) notice something off about this CLI, record it:

google-ad-manager-pp-cli feedback "the --since flag is inclusive but docs say exclusive"
google-ad-manager-pp-cli feedback --stdin < notes.txt
google-ad-manager-pp-cli feedback list --json --limit 10

Entries are stored locally at ~/.local/share/google-ad-manager-pp-cli/feedback.jsonl. They are never POSTed unless GOOGLE_AD_MANAGER_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT is set AND either --send is passed or GOOGLE_AD_MANAGER_FEEDBACK_AUTO_SEND=true. Default behavior is local-only.

Write what surprised you, not a bug report. Short, specific, one line: that is the part that compounds.

Output Delivery

Every command accepts --deliver <sink>. The output goes to the named sink in addition to (or instead of) stdout, so agents can route command results without hand-piping. Three sinks are supported:

SinkEffect
stdoutDefault; write to stdout only
file:<path>Atomically write output to <path> (tmp + rename)
webhook:<url>POST the output body to the URL (application/json or application/x-ndjson when --compact)

Unknown schemes are refused with a structured error naming the supported set. Webhook failures return non-zero and log the URL + HTTP status on stderr.

Named Profiles

A profile is a saved set of flag values, reused across invocations. Use it when a scheduled agent calls the same command every run with the same configuration - HeyGen's "Beacon" pattern.

google-ad-manager-pp-cli profile save briefing --json
google-ad-manager-pp-cli --profile briefing ad-breaks list mock-value
google-ad-manager-pp-cli profile list --json
google-ad-manager-pp-cli profile show briefing
google-ad-manager-pp-cli profile delete briefing --yes

Explicit flags always win over profile values; profile values win over defaults. agent-context lists all available profiles under available_profiles so introspecting agents discover them at runtime.

Exit Codes

Argument Parsing

Parse $ARGUMENTS:

  1. Empty, help, or --help → show google-ad-manager-pp-cli --help output
  2. Starts with install → ends with mcp → MCP installation; otherwise → see Prerequisites above
  3. Anything else → Direct Use (execute as CLI command with --agent)

MCP Server Installation

  1. Install the MCP server:
    bash
    go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/marketing/google-ad-manager/cmd/google-ad-manager-pp-mcp@latest
  2. Register with Claude Code:
    bash
    claude mcp add google-ad-manager-pp-mcp -- google-ad-manager-pp-mcp
  3. Verify: claude mcp list

Direct Use

  1. Check if installed: which google-ad-manager-pp-cli If not found, offer to install (see Prerequisites at the top of this skill).
  2. Match the user query to the best command from the Unique Capabilities and Command Reference above.
  3. Execute with the --agent flag:
    bash
    google-ad-manager-pp-cli <command> [subcommand] [args] --agent
  4. If ambiguous, drill into subcommand help: google-ad-manager-pp-cli <command> --help.
