# bulk_update_keyword_status

> Pause or enable up to 300 keywords in one call (more than 300 is rejected before anything runs).

> [!WARNING]
>
> **Change — approval required.** Calling this tool does not change your ad account. ADSMCP checks the arguments and stages the change as a pending action. It runs only after a person approves it on the dashboard [Approvals](https://adsmcp.si/dashboard/approvals) page. Over MCP or REST you can view (`list_pending_actions`) or reject (`manage_action`) it, never approve it. `execution_mode` and similar arguments do not skip the queue.
>
> **Spend cap.** When the approved change runs, ADSMCP adds up the daily budgets of everything that would be spending in the platform's connected accounts after the change. If that total is above your Max Daily Budget (dashboard [Brand](https://adsmcp.si/dashboard/brand) page), the change is refused. If the total cannot be read, it is refused too.
>
> A change that fails when it runs is not retried automatically. It shows on the dashboard Execution Queue.

Pause or enable up to 300 keywords in one call (more than 300 is rejected before anything runs). Calls pause\_google\_keyword or enable\_google\_keyword once per item, in order, and returns one result per item; a failure on one item does not stop the rest, and isError is set only when every item failed. Reversible, never removes. All keywords must be in the one ad group given.

**Platform:** Google Ads · **Type:** Change

## How to call it

* **MCP:** on `https://mcp.adsmcp.si/mcp`, run it through the `google_ads_write` tool with `{"action": "execute", "tool_name": "bulk_update_keyword_status", "arguments": { ... }}`, or call `bulk_update_keyword_status` by name. `search_tools` finds it and `get_tool_schema` returns its arguments; `https://mcp.adsmcp.si/mcp/flat` lists every tool by name.
* **REST:** `POST https://mcp.adsmcp.si/api/v1/tools/bulk_update_keyword_status/execute` with `Authorization: Bearer sk_live_...` and a JSON body `{"platform": "google", "arguments": { ... }}`. The arguments are listed below; they are exactly the tool's input schema.
