Updates one or more settings on an existing ad set. Partial
AI agents use meta_ads_ad_sets_update to create or update resources in Mureo — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mureo environment.
This tool modifies existing ad set configurations in Meta Ads, which is a reversible write operation. Severity is high because unauthorized updates to ad sets could redirect marketing spend, alter campaign targeting, change budgets, or compromise ad delivery strategy—impacting financial resources and campaign effectiveness.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'update' and description states 'Updates one or more settings on an existing ad set.' This is a modification operation on Meta Ads infrastructure.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mureo, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for meta_ads_ad_sets_update:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"meta_ads_ad_sets_update": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "meta_ads_ad_sets_update_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}meta_ads_ad_sets_update 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.
