- Creates REAL campaigns that cost REAL money
- Do NOT retry automatically if errors occur
- Report errors to user instead of retrying
⚠️ CRITICAL PREREQUISITE:
- MUST validate the YouTube video first using validate_video tool
- Video must be public or unlisted on YouTube (NOT private)

Headers
Client-generated UUID to make writes idempotent. Strongly recommended for write tools. A repeat call with the same key returns the cached result instead of re-executing. Example: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000
Body
application/json
All tool arguments are wrapped in an arguments object. The fields accepted inside arguments are listed below — required fields are marked with a red asterisk.
Input schema for create_youtube_campaign tool.

Response
Tool executed successfully. data.text carries the human-readable result (markdown-friendly). data.quota shows your current usage against the plan limit. data.structured appears when the tool emits machine-parseable structured content. data.content appears for tools that return non-text blocks (images, resources).
Returned on HTTP 200. data.text is the primary human-readable output. data.quota is always present for billable calls. data.structured is set only when the tool emits machine-parseable structured content. data.content is set only when the tool emits non-text content blocks.
