Get full details for a specific ad from the Meta Ad Library by ID or URL. Returns creative assets (video/image URLs), ad copy, CTA, landing page, impressions, spend, targeting demographics, and optionally a video transcript.
AI agents call meta-get-ad to retrieve information from Ad Library MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool performs read-only queries against the Meta Ad Library, a public database designed for transparency. It accesses existing ad information and analytics without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. No argument to this function could cause unintended harm beyond information disclosure (already public). Confidence is high because the description unambiguously describes a retrieval operation.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves and queries public Ad Library data by ID or URL, returning creative assets, ad copy, landing page, impressions, spend, and demographics. Language ('Get full details', 'Returns') indicates data retrieval with no side effects.

It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ad Library MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Ad Library MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for meta-get-ad: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Ad Library MCP. Nothing to install.
meta-get-ad is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the meta-get-ad rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for meta-get-ad. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
meta-get-ad is provided by the Ad Library MCP server (thedavidquan01/ad-library-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
