MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

Critical Risk

The most dangerous Meta Marketing API MCP Server tools

Destructive · High delete_audience Despite the empty description, the tool name 'delete_audience' unambiguously indicates deletion of advertising audience data. Destructive · Critical delete_campaign The tool irreversibly deletes data (campaigns, ad sets, and ads) at scale with no undo capability. Destructive · High delete_creative Deletion of ad creatives is irreversible data destruction that can harm active advertising campaigns. Write · High create_ad This tool creates new advertising content within an existing ad set, which is a reversible data modification (Write category).

19 of Meta Marketing API MCP Server's 61 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Meta Marketing API MCP Server

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

Deny destructive operations

{
  "delete_audience": {
    "deny_if": [
      {
        "conditions": [],
        "on_deny": "Blocked by default. Requires approval."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Destructive tools should never be available to autonomous agents without human approval.

Rate limit write operations

{
  "create_ad": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "create_ad_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "analyze_account_creatives": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "analyze_account_creatives_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

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