What delete_campaign does on Meta Marketing API MCP Server

AI agents call delete_campaign to permanently remove resources in Meta Marketing API MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Why delete_campaign needs a policy

The tool irreversibly deletes data (campaigns, ad sets, and ads) at scale with no undo capability. This is a textbook destructive operation with high blast radius: an AI agent miscall could eliminate active advertising infrastructure, lose campaign history, and impact business continuity. The explicit statement "cannot be undone" confirms destructive classification over Write.

From the tool's definition "Permanently delete a campaign and all its associated ad sets and ads. This action cannot be undone."
