create_budget_schedule
Schedule budget increases for Meta Ads campaigns during anticipated high-demand periods using Unix timestamps to optimize ad spending.
Instructions
Create a budget schedule for a Meta Ads campaign.
Allows scheduling budget increases based on anticipated high-demand periods.
The times should be provided as Unix timestamps.
Args:
campaign_id: Meta Ads campaign ID.
budget_value: Amount of budget increase. Interpreted based on budget_value_type.
budget_value_type: Type of budget value - "ABSOLUTE" or "MULTIPLIER".
time_start: Unix timestamp for when the high demand period should start.
time_end: Unix timestamp for when the high demand period should end.
access_token: Meta API access token (optional - will use cached token if not provided).
Returns:
A JSON string containing the ID of the created budget schedule or an error message.Input Schema

Implementation Reference
- The core handler function for the 'create_budget_schedule' tool. It is decorated with @mcp_server.tool() for MCP registration and @meta_api_tool for API handling. Performs input validation, constructs the API endpoint, and makes a POST request to create a budget schedule for the given campaign.
