meta_ads_ad_sets_enable

Resume a paused Meta ad set by setting its status to ACTIVE, provided its parent campaign is active; paused ads inside do not resume automatically.

Instructions

Resumes a paused ad set by setting its status to ACTIVE. The parent campaign must also be ACTIVE for the ad set to actually serve. Ads underneath retain their own status — PAUSED ads do not auto-resume. Returns the ad_set_id and new status. Reversible via rollback_apply or meta_ads_ad_sets_pause.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
reasonNoWhy this change is being made: one or two sentences naming the evidence and the expected effect. Stored in the journal and on the action_log entry this call produces, for the operator and the next session.
approvalNoExternal approval this change carries out (recorded and shown, never verified)
expectedNoExpected effects [{metric, direction, target?, horizon_days?, primary?}], exactly one primary:true when several; metric cpa/cpc/cpl/cpm/conversions/cvr/ctr/roas/cost/spend/clicks/impressions; direction up/down/hold.
ad_set_idYesAd set ID to activate.
account_idNoMeta Ads account ID in the format 'act_XXXXXXXXXX' (e.g. 'act_1234567890'). Optional — falls back to META_ADS_ACCOUNT_ID from the configured credentials. The leading 'act_' prefix is required.
decision_idNoA proposed decision this change carries out.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden and does well: it discloses the exact state mutation, the non-cascading effect on child ads, the return payload, and reversibility. It omits auth/permission requirements and what happens if the ad set is already ACTIVE (idempotency), which keeps it short of a 5.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Four short sentences, each carrying distinct information (mutation, prerequisite, non-cascade, reversibility), with the core action front-loaded. No restatement of the tool name or filler.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a six-parameter mutation with a nested approval object and no output schema, the description covers the operational essentials: precondition, side effects, and return values. It does not connect the reason/approval/decision_id parameters to the journaling workflow, which the schema explains but the description leaves untouched.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all six parameters including the approval object and expected-effects array. The description adds only a passing reference to the returned ad_set_id and says nothing about reason, approval, decision_id, or account_id, so baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('Resumes a paused ad set by setting its status to ACTIVE') and immediately scopes it against the campaign-level and ad-level enable tools by noting the parent campaign prerequisite and that PAUSED ads do not auto-resume. An agent can distinguish it from meta_ads_ads_enable and meta_ads_campaigns_enable without opening any schema.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives a concrete precondition (parent campaign must be ACTIVE for the ad set to actually serve) and names the inverse/recovery path (meta_ads_ad_sets_pause, rollback_apply). It does not spell out when an agent should prefer pausing the ad set vs. pausing the campaign, so the alternative selection is implied rather than fully stated.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
