meta_ads_catalogs_delete

Delete a Meta Ads Product Catalog and all its products, stopping any dependent dynamic ad campaigns. Requires confirmation and prior check of product count.

Instructions

Deletes a Product Catalog. Returns a success flag. Destructive and cascades — all products inside and any DPA campaigns consuming the catalog lose their product source and stop serving dynamic ads. Reversible via rollback_apply only if no ad consuming the catalog has served since deletion. Always call meta_ads_catalogs_get first to check product_count and operator-confirm before calling this.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
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.
catalog_idYesCatalog ID to delete.
Behavior5/5

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

No annotations provided, so description fully carries the burden. It discloses destructive and cascading nature, impact on DPA campaigns, and reversibility condition, giving agent clear behavioral expectations.

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?

Description is concise with 4 impactful sentences, no redundancy. Front-loaded with main action, efficiently conveying critical 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?

Covers all key aspects: destructive effect, cascade, reversibility condition, prerequisite check, and return value. Adequately complete given no output schema.

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 coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. Description does not add semantic detail beyond schema for account_id or catalog_id, focusing instead on behavior.

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 clearly states the tool deletes a Product Catalog and returns a success flag. It differentiates from sibling tools (create, get, list) by emphasizing destructive and cascading effects.

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?

Explicitly instructs to call meta_ads_catalogs_get first to check product_count and confirm with operator. Mentions reversibility condition via rollback_apply. Lacks explicit when-not-to-use but provides strong context.

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