In short:
ak-ads-managementworks through the API of the ad platform you have authorized: reading reports, building campaigns, adjusting audiences, changing budgets, pausing or enabling, uploading approved creative. Every change that costs money stays within the goal and limits you allowed, and it checks the state again afterwards.

Summary
Use it when you already have an ad strategy and need to carry it out on the account, or need reports read against your own goals. Work that only needs strategy or copy belongs to ak-paid-ads, if you have it installed.

E["Only strategy or copy needed"] --> F["ak-paid-ads if installed"]Four concepts to know:
| Concept | Question | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Allowed scope | Which account and campaigns may it touch, and how much may it spend at most? | The configured Meta account, only the ad set "<ad set name>", a daily budget of at most <amount> in the account's currency |
| Receipt | How do you know a change really happened? | After a budget change, it reads the returned receipt and reports the new budget, with the account ID masked |
| Reconcile before retrying | What if a command fails midway and you do not know if it went through? | Campaign creation hits a network error: it checks whether the campaign already exists on the account before going on |
| Metrics in context | Is this ROAS good or bad? | 30-day ROAS, stating the denominator and attribution window, compared with the target ROAS you gave |
Without an API connection, it only analyzes the export file you provide and never claims it got into the account. It does not expose credential values or the account's private data.
Sample prompt for a performance report:
/ak-ads-management google
Read the last 30 days' report of the configured Google Ads account.
Business goals: CPA no more than <amount>, ROAS at least <number>.
