Why create_third_party_creative needs a policy

Creating third-party creatives is a reversible write operation that modifies the ad system state by adding new creative assets. While the description is empty, the tool name combined with server context and sibling tools clearly indicates data creation. This is Write rather than Execute because it creates specific assets rather than executing arbitrary code.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_third_party_creative' indicates creation of advertising creative assets. The server description confirms this is part of Google Ad Manager's creative management system ('manage...creatives').

POLICY

How to control create_third_party_creative

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Google Ad Manager MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_third_party_creative:

policy.json

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

create_third_party_creative 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.
