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.

Pricing

The MCP server is free. You pay for API usage.

See pricing

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.
