- Location options: `location_option` is who the geo targets reach — `PRESENCE` (people in or regularly in the locations), `PRESENCE_OR_INTEREST` (Google's default; also people elsewhere who show interest in them) or `SEARCH_INTEREST`. `negative_location_option` (`PRESENCE` or `PRESENCE_OR_INTEREST`) is who the exclusions exclude. Empty leaves the value as it is. The preview warns when a change widens reach: for `location_option` that is anything but `PRESENCE`, for `negative_location_option` it is `PRESENCE`, because then the exclusions only keep out people physically there, not people interested in the excluded places; `update_campaign` shows the current value as `current_location_option` / `current_negative_location_option`. Read back with `get_campaign_settings`.
- Campaign URL options (`tracking_url_template`, `final_url_suffix`, `url_custom_parameters`): omitted leaves a value unchanged, `""` or `[]` removes it, and `url_custom_parameters` replaces the whole list. The template must contain `{lpurl}` or a variant (`{lpurl+2}`, `{unescapedlpurl}`, `{escapedlpurl+3}`, ...). Custom parameter keys are alphanumeric, at most 8 characters. The `update_campaign` preview shows each current value (`current_tracking_url_template` etc.), warns on a removal, and gives `example_click`: one of the campaign's final URLs with the campaign's options applied. It is approximate: a template on the ad group, ad or keyword overrides the campaign's, and ValueTrack parameters are filled at click time. Check it for typos before approving. Read back with `get_campaign_settings`.
- Campaign-level broad match: `update_campaign` `keyword_match_type="BROAD"` CONVERTS every existing phrase and exact keyword in the campaign into broad match. Google shows the originals as Removed, turning the setting off does not restore them, and since September 2026 Google also upgrades such campaigns to AI Max. It is refused unless the campaign (or the `bidding_strategy` in the same call) is Smart Bidding — the same rule as BROAD keywords — checked again at apply, and needs a double confirmation. `keyword_match_type="UNSPECIFIED"` turns it off (single confirmation): no further conversions, but converted keywords stay broad and must be re-added as phrase/exact by hand. Moving a broad-match campaign to a non-Smart `bidding_strategy` is refused unless the same call passes `UNSPECIFIED`. Never turn it on to "get more traffic" on an exact/phrase campaign; read it back with `get_campaign_settings`, which lists it in `widening_settings`.
- `update_campaign` replaces POSITIVE geo/language targets entirely (not append). Pass the full desired list. NEGATIVE geo exclusions (criteria with `negative=TRUE`) are **preserved** across a positive-geo replacement — they survive the swap. The preview surfaces preserved negative geo IDs in `preserved_negative_geo_target_ids` so the change is auditable. To ADD negative geo exclusions (e.g. exclude a city inside a targeted state), use `add_negative_locations` — do not try to express exclusions through `geo_target_ids`. To remove a negative geo exclusion explicitly, use `remove_entity` with `entity_type="campaign_criterion"`.

The preview surfaces preserved negative geo IDs in `preserved_negative_geo_target_ids` so the change is auditable. To ADD negative geo exclusions (e.g. exclude a city inside a targeted state), use `add_negative_locations` — do not try to express exclusions through `geo_target_ids`. To remove a negative geo exclusion explicitly, use `remove_entity` with `entity_type="campaign_criterion"`, or pass `geo_exclude_ids` without it.
- `geo_exclude_ids` and `ad_schedule` set exclusions and windows when creating a campaign, in the same atomic request. A schedule there gets a warning, not a double confirmation: the campaign is created PAUSED, and once it is enabled it serves only inside the windows. On `update_campaign` they REPLACE the whole list: omitted leaves it unchanged, `[]` clears it. Use them to set the complete state; `add_negative_locations` and `add_ad_schedule` add to what is there. The preview shows the current values (`current_geo_exclude_ids`, `current_ad_schedule`), only the entries that differ are removed or added, and apply refuses if the current values changed after the preview. `update_campaign` needs a double confirmation for a campaign's first schedule (every other hour stops serving), for clearing a schedule (the campaign serves at all hours again) and for dropping an exclusion (it can serve there again). A location can move between `geo_target_ids` and `geo_exclude_ids` in one call; a location in both lists is refused.
- **Asset scope:** callouts and snippets link where the id points (`ad_group_id` → ad group, `campaign_id` → campaign). Account-wide (`scope="account"`) reaches every campaign without assets of its own; use it only when the user asks for account level. **Asset edits** (`update_callout`, `update_sitelink`, `update_structured_snippet`) change the asset everywhere it is linked; check with GAQL (`campaign_asset`, `ad_group_asset`, `customer_asset`) where else it is used before editing a shared asset. If the apply reports the asset changed in Google Ads since the preview, draft again.
- **Call assets, schedules, promotions and prices.** Never guess `country_code` or `language_code`: take them from the number and the landing page, and ask when unclear. Money amounts are in the account currency (the preview names it); pass `currency_code` only for a different one. Ad schedule hours are in the **account time zone** (the previews show it), not the searcher's: convert the user's local hours first. A campaign without a schedule serves at all hours, so its first `add_ad_schedule` windows switch off every other hour and day: say so, the preview needs a double confirmation. To change a window, remove the old one with `remove_entity` (`entity_type="campaign_criterion"`, the `remove_id` from the preview), then add the new one. Prices must match the landing page or Google disapproves them.

- `remove_entity` is IRREVERSIBLE — always prefer `pause_entity` unless the user explicitly wants permanent removal. Removal triggers double confirmation in the safety layer.
- `remove_entity` supports `entity_type` values: "campaign", "ad_group", "ad", "keyword", "negative_keyword", "shared_criterion", "ad_group_criterion", "campaign_criterion", "campaign_asset", "ad_group_asset", "asset", "customer_asset". Use "negative_keyword" to remove campaign-level negative keywords. Use "shared_criterion" to remove a keyword from a shared negative keyword list — the `entity_id` format is "sharedSetId~criterionId" (use the `resource_id` field from `get_negative_keyword_list_keywords`). Use "ad_group_criterion" or "campaign_criterion" to remove demographic targeting (age/gender/parental/income) or an attached audience or audience exclusion — pass the `remove_id` returned by `get_demographic_targeting` or `get_audience_targeting`. Use "campaign_asset" to remove sitelinks and other asset links from a campaign, "ad_group_asset" (`adGroupId~assetId~fieldType`) for links on an ad group. Use "asset" to remove a standalone asset. Use "customer_asset" to remove a customer-level asset link.
- A Google Ads `dry_run=true` sends the exact change to Google with `validate_only` — Google checks it and executes nothing. `DRY_RUN_FAILED` carries Google's error and means the real apply would fail the same way; fix the cause and draft again. Steps that build on an object an earlier step would create (e.g. keywords for a new negative list) are counted in `checks.skipped_calls` instead of validated.
