Questions about create_tiktok_ads_catalog
Create a product catalog inside a TikTok Business Center — the container Dynamic Product Ads sell from. REGION AND CURRENCY ARE SET ONCE AND CAN NEVER BE CHANGED: TikTok’s own catalog-update endpoint changes the NAME and nothing else, so a catalog created in the wrong region or currency has to be replaced. Confirm both with the user before calling, and use list_tiktok_ads_catalogs(regions:true) to see which regions this Business Center may use. The new catalog IS EMPTY — products arrive through a scheduled feed, so the next step is always manage_tiktok_ads_catalog_feed.
