meta_ads_ads_enable

Reactivates a paused Meta ad by setting its status to ACTIVE. Use when an ad should resume serving, ensuring the parent ad set and campaign are also ACTIVE.

Instructions

Resumes a paused ad by setting its status to ACTIVE. The parent ad set and campaign must also be ACTIVE for the ad to actually serve. Returns the ad_id and new status. Reversible via rollback_apply or meta_ads_ads_pause.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
ad_idYesAd ID to activate.
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.
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 burden and does real work: it discloses the prerequisite hierarchy, states it is reversible via rollback_apply or meta_ads_ads_pause, and reports the return fields. It does not mention permissions, per-account approval expectations, or failure modes when the parent is inactive, 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?

Three short sentences: action first, then the prerequisite caveat, then the return and reversibility. Nothing is repeated from the schema and no sentence is 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 tool with no output schema, the description covers the action, the dependency on parent entities, the return values, and the undo path — enough to call it correctly. It stops short of covering what happens on failure or whether approvals are enforced, which matters for an ad-status change.

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 required ad_id and the optional account_id, reason, approval, expected, and decision_id are already well documented in the schema. The description adds no parameter-level meaning beyond implicitly scoping the call to one ad. Baseline 3 applies when the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 by setting its status to ACTIVE'), which is unambiguous and immediately distinguishes it from the sibling meta_ads_ads_pause. The scope is limited to a single ad, not the campaign or ad set, so an agent can select it without inspecting the 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?

The precondition ('The parent ad set and campaign must also be ACTIVE for the ad to actually serve') tells the agent when this call alone will not achieve the desired outcome, which is actionable guidance. It also names the rollback path, but it does not explicitly state the inverse condition (use meta_ads_ads_pause to stop delivery) as a routing rule.

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