WHAT IT DOES

What create_platform_target does on AdButler

AI agents use create_platform_target to create or update resources in AdButler, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your AdButler environment.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`name`	string	Yes	Platform target name
`platform`	string	—	Preset platform target (default: any)
`device_targets`	array	—	List of device patterns to target (e.g. "Apple*", "Samsung Galaxy S5")

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why create_platform_target is rated Medium

The tool creates a new targeting configuration within AdButler's campaign management system. This is a reversible write operation that modifies campaign data but does not delete, execute arbitrary code, or move money.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_platform_target' with description 'Create a new platform target' indicates data creation. The sibling tools include 'archive_*' (destructive) and 'bulk_create_*' operations, confirming this server handles campaign management modifications.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_platform_target safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and AdButler, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_platform_target, this is the rule to start with:

create_platform_target Rate-limited

create_platform_target stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
