All operations go\nthrough <code>https://api.ads.openai.com/v1</code>.</p>\n<h2>Requirements</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Hyper MCP installed and connected.</strong> <a href=\"https://app.hyperfx.ai/mcp\">https://app.hyperfx.ai/mcp</a></li>\n<li><strong>OpenAI Ads integration connected</strong> (an OpenAI Ads API key, scoped to one ad account) at <a href=\"https://app.hyperfx.ai/apps\">https://app.hyperfx.ai/apps</a>.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>If <code>search(\"openai_ads_ad_accounts_get\")</code> does not find <code>openai_ads_ad_accounts_get</code>, stop and tell the user to enable Hyper MCP and connect OpenAI Ads. After connecting, <code>openai_ads_health_check()</code> verifies the key — if <code>connected=false</code>, the API key is missing, invalid, or expired.</p>\n<h3>How to run the tools in this skill</h3>\n<p>Every tool in this skill is named by its canonical tool name. Run it with the call your surface gives you:</p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Surface</th>\n<th>Find a tool</th>\n<th>Run it</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>MCP client (Claude, Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT)</td>\n<td><code>search(\"&lt;what you want to do&gt;\")</code>, then <code>describe(\"&lt;name&gt;\")</code></td>\n<td><code>call(\"&lt;name&gt;\", {...})</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hyper CLI</td>\n<td><code>hyperai search \"&lt;what you want to do&gt;\"</code>, then <code>hyperai describe &lt;name&gt;</code></td>\n<td><code>hyperai call &lt;name&gt; --json '{...}'</code></td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p>If a tool is not found, its integration is not connected or not enabled for the workspace: stop and tell the user which integration to connect.</p>\n<h2>Out of scope — defer to other skills</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Creative generation</strong> (ad imagery, copy) → <a href=\"../ad-creative-generation\"><code>ad-creative-generation</code></a> / <a href=\"../image-generation\"><code>image-generation</code></a>.</li>\n<li><strong>Cross-platform campaign launches</strong> → use this skill for OpenAI Ads, then invoke <code>meta-ads</code> / <code>google-ads</code> separately.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Critical Rules</h2>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>CRITICAL</strong>: Auth is bearer API-key auth, not OAuth. One Ads API key is\nscoped to exactly one ad account. There is no <code>list ad accounts</code> endpoint;\n<code>openai_ads_ad_accounts_get</code> returns the connected account for that key.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>CRITICAL</strong>: All money values on inputs are <strong>integer micros</strong>.\n<code>$1.00 = 1_000_000</code> micros. <code>$50/day = 50_000_000</code>. The\n<code>daily_spend_limit_micros</code> minimum is <code>1_000_000</code> ($1). The ad group\n<code>max_bid_micros</code> is capped at <code>100_000_000</code> ($100). Insights responses use\nplain floats in account currency, not micros.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>CRITICAL</strong>: Always create campaigns, ad groups, and ads with\n<code>status=\"paused\"</code>. Surface what was created to the user, then activate\nusing the dedicated activate endpoint after approval.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>CRITICAL</strong>: Ads have <code>review_status</code>. New ads enter <code>in_review</code> and will\nnot serve until <code>review_status=\"approved\"</code>, even if <code>status=\"active\"</code>.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>CRITICAL</strong>: <code>chat_card</code> creatives require <code>target_url</code> and <code>file_id</code>.\nUpload the image first via <code>openai_ads_images_upload</code>, then pass the returned\n<code>file_id</code> to <code>openai_ads_create</code>. PNG, 1024x1024, &lt;= 1 MB.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>IMPORTANT</strong>: Creative types are <code>chat_card</code> and <code>product_ad_template</code>.\nProduct-ad templates get image and destination URL from the selected product\nfeed item, so they do not require <code>file_id</code> or <code>target_url</code>.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>IMPORTANT</strong>: Campaign <code>bidding_type</code> can be <code>impressions</code> or <code>clicks</code>.\nAd group <code>billing_event_type</code> can be <code>impression</code> or <code>click</code>.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<h2>Tool surface</h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Job</th>\n<th>Tools</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Account</td>\n<td><code>openai_ads_ad_accounts_get</code>, <code>openai_ads_update_ad_account</code>, <code>openai_ads_activate_ad_account</code>, <code>openai_ads_pause_ad_account</code>, <code>openai_ads_health_check</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Campaigns</td>\n<td><code>openai_ads_campaigns_create</code>, <code>openai_ads_campaigns_get</code>, <code>openai_ads_campaigns_list</code>, <code>openai_ads_campaigns_update</code>, <code>openai_ads_campaigns_pause</code>, <code>openai_ads_campaigns_activate</code>, <code>openai_ads_campaigns_archive</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ad groups</td>\n<td><code>openai_ads_ad_groups_create</code>, <code>openai_ads_ad_groups_get</code>, <code>openai_ads_ad_groups_list</code>, <code>openai_ads_ad_groups_update</code>, <code>openai_ads_ad_groups_pause</code>, <code>openai_ads_ad_groups_activate</code>, <code>openai_ads_ad_groups_archive</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ads</td>\n<td><code>openai_ads_create</code>, <code>openai_ads_get</code>, <code>openai_ads_list</code>, <code>openai_ads_update</code>, <code>openai_ads_pause</code>, <code>openai_ads_activate</code>, <code>openai_ads_archive</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Images &amp; targeting</td>\n<td><code>openai_ads_images_upload</code>, <code>openai_ads_search_geo_locations</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Audiences</td>\n<td><code>openai_ads_create_custom_audience</code>, <code>openai_ads_create_custom_audience_upload</code>, <code>openai_ads_get_custom_audience</code>, <code>openai_ads_list_custom_audiences</code>, <code>openai_ads_archive_custom_audience</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Conversions</td>\n<td><code>openai_ads_create_conversion_pixel</code>, <code>openai_ads_create_conversion_api_key</code>, <code>openai_ads_create_conversion_event_setting</code>, <code>openai_ads_list_conversion_event_settings</code>, <code>openai_ads_get_conversion_insights</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Insights</td>\n<td><code>openai_ads_account_insights_get</code>, <code>openai_ads_campaign_insights_get</code>, <code>openai_ads_ad_group_insights_get</code>, <code>openai_ads_insights_get</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cache snapshot</td>\n<td><code>openai_ads_cache</code>, <code>openai_ads_caches_get</code>, <code>openai_ads_caches_refresh</code></td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<h2>Phase 1: Account Discovery</h2>\n<p>Run these after connect:</p>\n<pre><code>openai_ads_ad_accounts_get()\nopenai_ads_campaigns_list(limit=100)\nopenai_ads_list_custom_audiences(limit=100)\nopenai_ads_list_conversion_event_settings(limit=100)\n</code></pre>\n<p>The connect-time context builder may have already populated a cached snapshot.\nPrefer:</p>\n<pre><code>openai_ads_caches_get()\n</code></pre>\n<p>If <code>success=False</code> because the cache is empty, refresh once:</p>\n<pre><code>openai_ads_caches_refresh()\n</code></pre>\n<h2>Phase 2: Plan and Confirm</h2>\n<p>Before creating anything, confirm with the user:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Objective in plain language.</li>\n<li>Daily and/or lifetime budget in account currency.</li>\n<li>Target geos: simple country codes like <code>[\"US\", \"GB\"]</code>, or location IDs from <code>openai_ads_search_geo_locations</code>.</li>\n<li>Any custom audiences to include or exclude.</li>\n<li>Whether this is a normal <code>chat_card</code> campaign or a product-feed campaign.</li>\n<li>Headline (<code>title</code>, &lt;= 50 chars), body (&lt;= 100 chars), and click-through URL for <code>chat_card</code>.</li>\n<li>One image asset for <code>chat_card</code>, either a public URL or a base64 blob.</li>\n<li>Max bid in micros (<code>max_bid_micros</code>; for example <code>2_000_000</code>).</li>\n<li>Optional <code>context_hints</code>, short natural-language phrases that describe when the ad should show.</li>\n<li>Optional conversion event setting IDs to attach to the campaign.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>If anything is missing, ask.
