Questions about set_microsoft_ads_auto_apply
Switch Microsoft’s auto-apply on or off, per recommendation type. SWITCHING ONE ON IS UNLIKE EVERY OTHER WRITE IN HERMOSO: it is STANDING PERMISSION FOR MICROSOFT TO CHANGE THIS AD ACCOUNT ON ITS OWN, indefinitely, with nobody watching, publishing search and multimedia ads it wrote under the brand’s name, DELETING negative keywords so the account starts buying searches it currently blocks, or creating and changing conversion goals so every smart-bidding strategy on the account re-aims. It has no expiry and no schedule you can inspect, and nothing in Hermoso will ever turn it off for the user. AND THERE IS NOTHING TO PREVIEW: Microsoft decides later, on evidence that does not exist yet, so no count, no dry run and no list can tell you what it will do, which is exactly why a blast-radius echo would be meaningless here and each type has to be named instead. To turn any type ON: confirm:true AND confirmTypes listing every type being turned on, individually. There is no. 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.
