meta_ads_campaigns_enable

Resume a paused Meta Ads campaign by setting its status to ACTIVE. Remember that paused ad sets and ads remain paused; enable them separately if needed.

Instructions

Resumes a paused campaign by setting its status to ACTIVE. Ad sets and ads underneath retain their own status — if they are still PAUSED they do NOT auto-resume; call meta_ads_ad_sets_enable / meta_ads_ads_enable for those too. Returns the campaign id and new status. Reversible via rollback_apply or meta_ads_campaigns_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.
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.
campaign_idYesCampaign ID to activate.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavior. It clearly states the mutation (status to ACTIVE), the non-cascading effect on ad sets/ads, the return value, and reversibility. No important behavioral trait is hidden.

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 sentences, all information-dense and relevant: the core action, the critical caveat about child statuses with sibling tool pointers, and the return/reversibility note. There is no filler or repetition of schema details.

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

Completeness5/5

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

The tool is simple, but since there is no output schema, the description correctly states what is returned (campaign id and new status). It also covers the hierarchy behavior and rollback path, making it complete enough for an agent to call the tool and interpret the result without further lookup.

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 three parameters. The description adds no extra parameter-level meaning beyond restating that campaign_id is used to activate a campaign, which is baseline-appropriate for a fully documented schema.

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?

The description states a precise verb and resource: it resumes a paused campaign by setting its status to ACTIVE. It also distinguishes itself from the related meta_ads_ad_sets_enable / meta_ads_ads_enable tools by explicitly clarifying that child ad sets and ads do not auto-resume.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

The description clearly identifies when to use the tool: to resume a paused campaign. It also names the sibling tools for re-enabling child objects, and even notes reversibility via rollback_apply or meta_ads_campaigns_pause, which helps the agent select the right operation and plan follow-up actions.

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