Why meta_ads_ads_pause needs a policy

This tool modifies the status of an ad from active to paused. This is a reversible write operation — the ad can be unpaused at any time. It does not delete data or move money directly, though misuse could halt ad delivery and indirectly affect ad spend. Severity is medium due to potential business impact of inadvertently pausing live campaigns.

From the tool's definition Pauses a single ad by setting its status to PAUSED

POLICY

How to control meta_ads_ads_pause

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_ads_pause:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "meta_ads_ads_pause": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "meta_ads_ads_pause_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

meta_ads_ads_pause 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.

Create a free account and register Mureo — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
