Google Ads / API Reference
gads_list_audiences
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 audiences defined on the account. Args: type_val: Ignored -- the audience resource has no type field. Kept so callers that pass it everywhere do not break. For remarketing and customer-match lists, which do have types, use gads_list_user_lists. limit: Maximum rows to return. Default 200; raise it if the answer is being cut off.
This is a read-only tool: it lists audiences from your Google Ads account. It changes nothing.
