Canonical page: /integrations/google-ads

## How SHAI connects to it
SHAI talks to it directly, with the key you paste. It is one of the tools SHAI has written up — what it costs, why it matters, what breaks without it — as `google-ads-api` in the tool guide.

## What it needs
a key you paste, in Setup or on /connections.

## Where that was read
docs/tools/tools.json (google-ads-api), verified 2026-09-16.
