Run status: BLOCKED — no audit performed

The daily Google Ads negatives tune-up could not run on 2026-05-22. Every execution backend the skill defines was unavailable, so no search-term data was pulled. Pass 1 (negatives to add), Pass 2 (cross-campaign cannibalization), and Pass 3 (false-positive removals) were all skipped. No keywords or negatives were changed. Budgets and bids were untouched, as always.

Phase 0 preflight findings

Sandbox health: FAIL. The Linux shell returns ENOSPC ("no space left on device") on every write to the session temp directory. Tested twice. Desktop Commander runs Windows-side and cannot see or clear the Linux sandbox temp dirs, so the documented cleanup step could not free space. Backend 1 (direct google-ads-python in the shell) is therefore unavailable. Run tagged SHELL-BLOCKED.

Backend 2 — google-ads-mcp / NotFair: FAIL. listConnectedAccounts succeeded and confirmed the account (Sam Aguiar Injury Lawyers, 381-391-6687). The data pull via runScript then failed with NOTFAIR_QUOTA_EXHAUSTED: the free monthly cap of 300 operations is reached (300/300). Not retryable. Quota resets 2026-06-15.

Backend 3 — Pipedream Google Ads connector: UNAVAILABLE. The MCP registry returned no Pipedream or Google Ads connector results, so it could not be surfaced or installed in this session.

Backend 4 — Adspirer MCP: UNAVAILABLE. No Adspirer tools are present in this session's tool set.

OAuth note: This is NOT an OAuth failure. The refresh token was not the blocker, and the OAuth health/.env sync step was therefore moot. The two real blockers are a full sandbox disk and an exhausted NotFair free-tier quota. The auto-memory project_oauth_blocked_streak.md should not be incremented for this run, because that file tracks OAuth blocks specifically and incrementing it here would corrupt that signal. A separate note for disk plus quota blocks would be cleaner.

Why the session ended

Blocked. With no working data backend, the audit has no input. Per the scheduled-task wrapper, the correct output for a blocked run is a report, which this page is.

Recommended next actions

  1. Re-run in a fresh session. A new Cowork session usually starts with a clean sandbox, which would restore Backend 1 (direct API, effectively unlimited quota). This is the fastest path and likely resolves everything on its own.
  2. NotFair quota is structural. The free tier is 300 ops/month. A daily audit that batches 7 GAQL queries plus mutations will keep exhausting it well before month-end. Either upgrade the NotFair plan or make Backend 1 the primary path so NotFair is only a fallback. Until 2026-06-15, Backend 2 will keep failing.
  3. Connect the Pipedream Google Ads connector so Backend 3 is a real fallback. It is currently not installable from the registry, which means the skill's documented 4-backend chain effectively has only 2 live links.
  4. Re-run the 2026-05-22 audit once any backend is restored. No data was lost; the 30-day search-term window still covers the same ground.

Handoff for the next agent

A fresh agent can most likely just re-run the google-ads-daily-negatives skill in a new session. A new session typically gets a clean sandbox, which restores Backend 1 (direct google-ads-python). If Backend 1 works, run the full three-pass audit normally per the skill. If the sandbox is still full, Backend 2 will keep failing until 2026-06-15, so the audit stays blocked until either the disk clears or the NotFair plan is upgraded.

Nothing in the Google Ads account was changed this run, so there is no rollback to perform and no partial state to reconcile. The OAuth refresh token is healthy and was not involved. The CONTINUATION_STATE.md rolling queue, if any prior-day removals were capped, was not reachable this run and should be checked once a backend is live.

Importance and status

Importance: Medium. One skipped daily run is low individual risk. The concern is that the two root causes (full sandbox, exhausted free quota) will block every future run until addressed, so this should not be left to silently repeat.
