Security checklist
A security checklist for Apple Ads AI automation
The safest automation separates account credentials from the AI client, applies least privilege, stages writes, constrains budgets, records every action, and provides a fast way to stop the program.
Protect the credential boundary.
Never place Apple private keys in prompts, source control, browser storage, or shared documents. Use encrypted server-side storage, rotation, revocation, and a tenant boundary tested against cross-account access.
Make writes narrower than reads.
Reporting can often cover an account while writes are limited to selected apps, markets, operation types, and numeric ranges. Require explicit approval until the repeated workflow is understood.
Prepare for failure before enabling recurrence.
Define maximum daily change, idempotency behavior, alerting, action logs, rollback or pause procedures, and an emergency stop. Test the path with dry runs and a low-risk account scope.
