Questions about create_apple_ads_creative
Create an Apple Ads creative — what a person sees before and after tapping the ad. Pick creativeType: DEFAULT_PRODUCT_PAGE renders the app’s standard App Store listing and needs only adamId; CUSTOM_PRODUCT_PAGE renders a custom page built in App Store Connect and needs adamId AND productPageId (from list_apple_ads_product_pages); LOCAL_ADS_SEARCH_CREATIVE is Apple Maps and needs brandId (from list_apple_ads_brands) plus assetIds you uploaded with upload_apple_ads_asset — that is the one creative type where YOUR OWN IMAGE is the ad. YOU CANNOT SUPPLY YOUR OWN IMAGERY FOR AN APP STORE AD — Apple renders the pre-tap ad from the product page itself, so the way to change how an App Store ad LOOKS is to edit that page (or build a Custom Product Page) in App Store Connect; say that plainly rather than looking for a parameter that does not exist. The destination type is derived from the creative type and never asked for. A creative SPENDS NOTHING and has no status of its own: it serves only once an ad references it and that ad, its ad group and its campaign are all ENABLED. Apple validates asynchronously, so a fresh creative is usually PENDING for a moment and an ad may only reference a VALID one — that is a wait, not a failure. Type and destination are immutable afterwards. Free. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Hermoso MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
