  update:
    x-idempotency:
      supported: false
      note: The Google Ads API publishes no idempotency key. validateOnly and partialFailure are the substitutes;
        a retried mutate that already succeeded creates duplicates.
    x-rate-limit-signalling:
      headers: false
      note: No X-RateLimit-*/RateLimit-* headers. Throttling arrives as a RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED error carrying QuotaErrorDetails
        (rate_scope, rate_name, retry_delay).
    x-error-format:
      format: google-ads-failure
      rfc9457: false
      note: Errors are GoogleAdsFailure with a typed ErrorCode drawn from 156 enum families; see grpc/google-ads-errors.proto.
    x-money-encoding:
      unit: micros
      note: Monetary fields are int64 micros (1,000,000 micros = one currency unit) serialised as strings in the
        REST transport.
