Short answer
Send the ad platform gross profit, not revenue, as the conversion value, set targets no lower than break-even ROAS (1 divided by gross margin), and use a holdout or lift test to check what ads really caused. Let an AI assistant pull and explain the numbers; do the math in a script and approve every bid change yourself.

Why these work together
Ad data and margins meet in one session, so the agent can report profit per campaign instead of revenue. The math runs as code you can check, and every bid or budget change stays a human decision.
Connection methods are computed from each tool's recorded compatibility. "Manual" means no confirmed direct path yet.
