# Upload image assets from URLs

`POST /api/v1/tools/google_add_image_assets/execute`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://adako.ai`
- URL: `https://adako.ai/api/v1/tools/google_add_image_assets/execute`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Downloads images from https URLs, checks them against Google's rules (PNG/JPEG/static GIF, at most 5120 KB, the aspect ratio and minimum size of the slot they are for) and uploads the ones that pass as image assets.
Use when: the user gave you image URLs and you are about to build a Performance Max asset group or add image extensions.
Do not use when: you have not seen the images pass google_validate_and_prepare_assets and the user has not confirmed which slot each one is for — an image in the wrong slot is rejected by Google with an unhelpful error.
Nothing is uploaded unless every image passes: a half-uploaded set is harder to clean up than a refusal. Google silently drops a new name for an image whose bytes already exist, so re-uploading the same file is safe but keeps the original name.
The upload creates assets in the account library; it does not link them to anything. Link them with google_add_sitelinks-style tools or by building an asset group.
If you are unsure which account, campaign or period the user means, ask them — do not guess ids or dates.

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` string

## Request body

- object
  - `arguments` object, required
    - `customer_id` string: Google Ads customer id (10 digits, dashes optional). Omit to use the primary account; list_connected_accounts shows the valid ids.
    - `images` object[], required: The images to upload.
      - `url` string, uri, required: The image file (PNG, JPEG or static GIF). Adako hosts no files: the platform downloads this URL itself, from its own servers and often hours later, so it must be a public link straight to the file — not a file on the computer, not a Drive, Dropbox or design-tool share page, not a link that expires or asks for a login. Call check_media first: it repairs the usual share links, checks the file against this platform, and says where to put a file that has no link yet.
      - `name` string, required: A name for the asset library, e.g. "Spring sale — square".
      - `field_type` 'MARKETING_IMAGE' | 'SQUARE_MARKETING_IMAGE' | 'PORTRAIT_MARKETING_IMAGE' | 'LOGO' | 'LANDSCAPE_LOGO', required: Which slot the image fills. Each slot has its own aspect ratio; the tool checks it before uploading.
    - `idempotency_key` string: Optional caller-supplied key; identical keys never execute twice.

## Response `200`

The tool ran. A write returns proposal_id and approve_url while the change waits for approval.

- SuccessEnvelope
  - `success` unknown, required
  - `tool` string, required
  - `data` object, required: Machine-readable result.
  - `markdown` string, required: The same result written for a person or a model.
  - `quota` Quota: Task usage for the current billing period.
    - `plan` string
    - `used` integer
    - `limit` integer
    - `period_end` string
    - `upgrade_url` string
  - `proposal_id` string: Present for writes. Nothing changes on the ad platform until it is approved.
  - `approve_url` string: Where a person approves the proposal.
  - `request_id` string, required

## Other responses
