Description

Run the Watch Agent now — an on-demand proactive scan of your ad accounts.

**What it does:**
- Kicks off a server-side Watch Agent session for your account immediately
- The agent reviews your connected ad accounts and triages anything that needs attention
- Writes a finding (+ any pre-staged fixes) and emails you a copy-paste re-entry prompt
- Runs asynchronously — returns right away; open results with `get_signal_briefing`

**When to use:**
- "Run the watch agent for my account now"
- "Do a proactive scan of my campaigns now"
- "Check my accounts for issues right now (don't wait for the schedule)"

**Note:** The Watch Agent normally runs automatically on a schedule — this just
triggers an extra run on demand. If it hasn't been activated yet you'll get a
clear message and no scan runs (your monitors/alerts are unaffected).
