What the Meta Ads tools won't do
Set by the platform's own API rules, or left out of Zernio on purpose.
Ad comment replies
Replies go through the inbox comment tools.
Tests are read-only
The agent lists A/B tests and lift studies but can't start one.
Ad Library gaps
Only political ads, and ads shown in the EU or UK.
Pixels can't be deleted
Every create call makes a new pixel, so the agent doesn't retry one.
One budget level
A campaign budgets at campaign level or per ad set, not both.
Meta reviews every ad
Nothing spends until Meta approves it.
The MCP server is free. You pay for API usage.
Tool calls bill like the API requests behind them.
Ads bill per active ad: 500 free, then $0.01 each a month. Paused ads never bill.
You pay Meta for ad spend directly.
