}Call connections.start_ad_account_setup
Begin or resume the guided setup for connecting a brand’s own ad account — ‘help me connect our ad account’, ‘walk me through ad account setup’. Begin or resume the guided setup that gets us access to this brand’s own ad account on one platform, and return the next step. Safe to call when setup is already under way — it RESUMES and never resets progress. Nothing is sent to the platform and nothing is spent; this only opens the guided steps the operator then performs in the platform’s own tools. Not for marking one step done — that is connections.complete_ad_account_step.
Every result names the workspace it ran in. Say which workspace the answer is about. When the account has more than one workspace and none is selected, this tool refuses with workspace_ambiguous and lists the choices — offer them, never pick one.

}Authorizations
An API key minted at Settings › API & MCP. Send it as Authorization: Bearer <key>. A key carries its holder's own permissions, resolved on every call — revoking a membership closes the key's reach immediately. Keep it in an environment variable (GOOSY_API_KEY), never in a committed file.
Headers
Your own id for this request, echoed back and recorded on the audit trail. 1–128 characters from A–Z a–z 0–9 . _ : -, starting with a letter or digit; anything else is replaced by a generated id.
128Body
Which advertising platform's ad account to set up on that platform's own account — the customer owns the account and grants us access to it. The allowed values are the enum's; do not offer a platform outside it.
meta, google, tiktok, linkedin The operator's OWN ad account id, if they already have an account and have told you the id (a Meta act id, a Google 10-digit customer id, a TikTok advertiser id). Omit it when they are making a new account — that is the normal case and the walkthrough collects it later. NEVER pass a password, token or API key here; this field is an account identifier only.
Which workspace to run in — its slug. Omit to use your default. With more than one reachable workspace and no default, the call is refused and the choices are listed.
1Response
The call was admitted and dispatched. ok says whether the tool succeeded — a refusal the tool itself produced is still a 200, exactly as it is a successful JSON-RPC result over MCP.
- Option 1
- Option 2
The tool ran and answered.
