|---|---|---|
| Explicit account routing | Reading or mutating the wrong ad account | Named account and account ID before action |
| Typed operations | Invented fields and ambiguous mutation intent | A documented Reddit Ads tool with validated arguments |
| Approval gate | Silent or autonomous spend changes | The exact staged operation before execution |
| Operation provenance | Unattributed changes | Operation ID, author context, timestamp, result |
| Honest recovery | Claiming Google Ads undo on a platform that does not have it | createCreativeAssetUploads starts image or video processing from media URLs. configured_status and effective_status are distinct. |
