"Test connection" sends a one-word request to the API (a tiny cost on your account).
What this tool does and does not do
- It reads the performance reports you export from Google Ads and Ads Manager, and writes campaign plans from your brief as files you import yourself. It never connects to your ad accounts, so no ad-platform login, token or approval is needed.
- The AI's recommendations are suggestions. You approve them here and apply them in your ad account by hand; nothing is changed for you.
- Everything it produces is a draft, created paused. You review it in Google Ads Editor or Ads Manager before anything spends money.
How your key is kept
- Stored encrypted (AES-256-GCM) with a key derived from your config.php settings; shown only as its first and last characters.
- Sent only to api.anthropic.com over HTTPS, directly from this computer or server.
- If you change DB_NAME, DB_USER or DB_PASS in config.php, paste the key again.
