MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

High Risk

Write · Medium duplicate_ad This tool creates a new ad by duplicating an existing one, which is a reversible write/create operation. Write · Medium duplicate_adset Duplicating an ad set creates new objects (ad set, ads, creatives) in the Meta Ads system — a reversible write operation. Write · High duplicate_campaign Duplicating a campaign creates new campaign structures (campaigns, ad sets, ads, creatives) in Meta Ads, which is a Write operation. Write · High create_ad The tool creates advertising campaigns/ads on Meta platforms (Facebook/Instagram), which modifies advertiser data and commits financial resources.

15 of Meta Ads MCP's 42 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

HOW TO CONTROL META ADS MCP

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Meta Ads MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Rate limit write operations

{
  "duplicate_ad": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "duplicate_ad_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "compute_image_crops": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "compute_image_crops_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.
