What it does
Stops click fraud / fake clicks / invalid clicks / bot traffic: blocks bad IP addresses on a Google Ads CAMPAIGN (this is the IP exclusion / click-fraud / invalid-traffic write tool) by adding them as negative IP_BLOCK campaign criteria. It excludes IPs (a competitor or a bot) from seeing the ads. `ips` = comma-separated IPv4/IPv6 addresses. Google Ads allows up to 500 IP exclusions per campaign (max 200 per call here). confirm=false returns a dry-run preview; confirm=true applies. Undo: unblock_ip_addresses (list_ip_exclusions returns the criterion_ids). THIS is how ad click fraud is stopped. An edge/CDN/WAF firewall rule cannot stop a click that Google already charged for, and hosted sites are behind our own edge where the customer has no dashboard.

How to use it
You don't call tools by name. Write what you want in ChatGPT, Claude or another assistant connected to Opus Growth, in your own words; it picks this tool when it fits.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Default | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| customer_id | string | Required | · | Google Ads customer account ID to query or change. Use the numeric ID returned by list_accounts; omit separators unless this tool explicitly says otherwise. |
| campaign_id | string | Optional | · | Exact campaign identifier to target. Use the ID returned by an Opus Growth list or create operation, not a display name. |
| ips | string | Optional | · | Exact ips value for block ip addresses. Supply text in the provider's required format; when it selects an existing resource, use the exact identifier returned by the relevant list or search operation. |
| confirm | boolean | Optional | false | Safety confirmation for a state-changing operation. Leave false to preview or validate; set true only after the user explicitly approves the shown change. |
