meta_set_status

Pause, resume or archive a Meta campaign, ad set or ad.

Ask to pause, resume or archive a campaign, an ad set or an ad on Meta. Resume starts delivery, and so it starts spend.

Pause the FR BE 25-54 ad set on Northwind.

The agent calls meta_set_status, then get_mutation_status, and you see whether Meta applied the change. Change what runs on Meta tells why archive is almost permanent.

Reference

Available on:

Pause, resume, or archive a Meta campaign, ad set, or ad on a live ad account. Runs asynchronously: returns a workflowId immediately — call get_mutation_status with it to see whether the change succeeded. ACTIVE resumes delivery (spends money); PAUSED stops it; ARCHIVED retires the object and is close to permanent — an archived object leaves Ads Manager’s default views and cannot be returned to delivery, so use it only to retire something that should not exist, never to pause it.

Input

Argument	Type	Required	Description
`advertiserId`	string	yes	Advertiser account ID (`acc_<id>`). Must belong to the active organization.
`id`	string	yes	The Meta object ID of the campaign, ad set, or ad.
`level`	one of `campaign`, `adset`, `ad`	yes	Which level the `id` refers to.
`status`	one of `ACTIVE`, `PAUSED`, `ARCHIVED`	yes	`ACTIVE` resumes delivery; `PAUSED` stops it; `ARCHIVED` retires the object near-permanently (it cannot be brought back into delivery). Prefer `PAUSED` unless the object should not exist at all.

Output

A successful call returns this object in structuredContent.

Field	Type	Always present	Description
`workflowId`	string	yes	The id of the change. The change has not reached Meta yet. Give this id to `get_mutation_status` to find out how the change ended.

Failure codes

A failed call has isError set, and structuredContent.error holds one of these codes. Errors describes the shape of a failed call.

not_found
missing_write_access
forbidden
invalid_request
internal_error

Scope

The token must hold mutation:write. Auth & scopes lists each scope.

Annotations

A client reads these hints. A hint that the tool does not declare has the default value of the MCP specification.

Writes. The tool can change data.
Destructive. The tool can make a change that you cannot undo. A client can ask you to confirm before it calls the tool.
Not idempotent. A second call with the same arguments can change more.
Open world. The tool reaches a system outside AdCrunch, such as an ad platform.

  "level": "adset",
  "status": "PAUSED"
}

The result, in structuredContent:
