Mutate

Fallback Google Ads mutation tool for advanced or unsupported cases. Use this only when there is no dedicated Google Ads operation for the task. If a specific operation already exists, such as updating campaign budget, campaign status, bidding strategy, ad group bid, ads, keyword, asset, edit extension, phone, call, shopping, display, targeting, audience, app, price, location, business logo, name, video, ads, or creating common Google Ads entities, always use that dedicated operation instead of this one. This tool sends grouped requests to the generic googleAds:mutate REST endpoint and supports create, update, and remove mutations, including multi-step grouped mutations across different resource types, temporary negative resource IDs for chained creates, validate-only mode, and partial failure mode.

Inputs

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
`account`	GadsAccountItem or object or array of object or string or integer	Yes	-	Select the Google Ads account, ask the user for it if not provided
`mutate_operations`	string or array of object or object	Yes	-	Provide grouped Google Ads mutate operations for the generic googleAds:mutate endpoint. Prefer passing the mutateOperations array itself, where each item contains exactly one typed operation key such as assetOperation, customerAssetOperation, campaignOperation, adGroupOperation, or adGroupAdOperation, and each operation uses one of create, update, or remove. You may also pass a full object containing mutateOperations, but the array is preferred. Important: only include fields that are valid for that exact Google Ads resource schema. Do not invent or add extra fields just because they seem logical. Customer scope already comes from the selected account and request URL, so do not include a customer field inside create objects unless that specific Google Ads operation explicitly supports it. Note used API version is `https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v25/campaign_query_builder`
`partial_failure`	boolean	No	`False`	When true, allows valid operations to succeed even if some operations fail
`validate_only`	boolean	No	`False`	When true, validates the grouped mutate request without applying any mutations. Use this when you are unsure whether a Google Ads mutate payload shape, operation type, or field is supported and want Google Ads to validate it safely before making changes.
`response_content_type`	string or SelectableOption	No	-	Optional response content type. Available options: ‘RESOURCE_NAME_ONLY’, ‘MUTABLE_RESOURCE’

GadsAccountItem

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
`value`	string	Yes	-
