Google Ads / API Reference
gads_list_ad_groups_by_status
Google Ads tool (extended/low-level coverage). For common tasks prefer the RECOMMENDED google_ads_* actions; use these only for advanced operations those don't cover. List ad groups filtered by status (ENABLED/PAUSED/REMOVED). Optional campaign_id filter.
This is a read-only tool: it lists ad groups by status from your Google Ads account. It changes nothing.
