meta_ads_conversions_send

Send arbitrary conversion events in batches to the Meta Conversions API for event types like AddToCart, InitiateCheckout, CompleteRegistration, and custom events.

Instructions

Sends a batch of arbitrary conversion events to the Meta Conversions API. Returns Meta's response including events_received and messages (warnings for missing fields). Mutating on Meta's side — events become part of the pixel's attribution stream. For common event types prefer the dedicated meta_ads_conversions_send_purchase or send_lead helpers, which enforce required fields and fewer mistakes. For other event names (AddToCart, InitiateCheckout, CompleteRegistration, custom events) use this generic tool.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
eventsYesEvent payloads to send. Meta batches are typically ≤1000 events per call.
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.
pixel_idYesMeta Pixel ID the event is attributed to. Find via meta_ads_pixels_list. CAPI events flow into the same pixel as browser events; dedupe happens on event_id if one is supplied in user_data / custom_data.
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.
test_event_codeNoMeta Events Manager test_event_code. When set, the event is routed to the test event stream visible in Events Manager instead of production reporting. Use for validation; drop the field once verified. Get the code from Events Manager → Test Events tab.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
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 disclose the key traits: the call mutates Meta's side, events enter the pixel's attribution stream permanently, and the response contains events_received plus warning messages. It omits permissions/rate-limit context and does not note that events are batched at up to 1000 per call in the prose (that is only in the schema).

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 sentences, zero waste, with the core action and return shape front-loaded before the sibling-routing guidance. Every sentence earns its place.

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?

There is no output schema, but the description names the return fields (events_received, messages) and explains that messages surface warnings for missing fields. For a nested, 8-parameter mutation tool with no annotations this is nearly complete; only auth and rate-limit context are missing.

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% and the nested event fields are thoroughly documented there, so the baseline of 3 applies. The description adds no parameter-level detail beyond what the schema already provides, such as batch sizing or pixel selection guidance.

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: it sends a batch of arbitrary conversion events to the Meta Conversions API. It explicitly separates itself from the dedicated send_purchase and send_lead siblings and names the event types this generic tool is intended for.

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?

Gives explicit routing: prefer meta_ads_conversions_send_purchase or send_lead for common event types because they enforce required fields, and use this tool for AddToCart, InitiateCheckout, CompleteRegistration, or custom events. Both the when and the when-not are stated.

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