Hello Oliver,
In this case I'd recommend to use reports to get active AdGroups list and use AdGroup's IDs in the predicate. It is very unlikely we'll introduce services coupling like this in near future. I'll check if we can introduce qualityinfo details into the reports instead. -Danial, AdWords API Team.
