List Meta Ads

This tool retrieves ads for a given ad set with their name, status, and creative ID.

Next step guidance for editing ads

When to use this tool:

“Show me the ads in ad set [ID]”
“What ads are running in this ad set?”
“List the individual ads”
“Which ads are active/paused?”
Before using update_meta_ad when user doesn’t know the ad ID

Parameters:

ad_set_id: Ad Set ID to list ads for (required for direct listing)
campaign_id: Campaign ID (will guide user to use ad_set_id)
status: Filter by status (optional)
limit: Max ads to return (default: 100)

Execution time: 2-5 seconds Data source: Meta Marketing API (live)

Workflow:

Use list_meta_ad_sets to find ad set IDs
Use list_meta_ads with ad_set_id to see ads
Use update_meta_ad to pause/resume or swap creative

Alternative: Use get_meta_campaign_details with include_hierarchy=true to see the full campaign tree at once.
