# update_amazon_sb_ads

> Rename, pause or enable Sponsored Brands ads of one ad group.

> [!WARNING]
>
> **Change — approval required.** Calling this tool does not change your ad account. ADSMCP checks the arguments and stages the change as a pending action. It runs only after a person approves it on the dashboard [Approvals](https://adsmcp.si/dashboard/approvals) page. Over MCP or REST you can view (`list_pending_actions`) or reject (`manage_action`) it, never approve it. `execution_mode` and similar arguments do not skip the queue.
>
> A change that fails when it runs is not retried automatically. It shows on the dashboard Execution Queue.

Rename, pause or enable Sponsored Brands ads of one ad group. ENABLED goes through the account-total spend cap. Staged for dashboard approval; nothing changes in Amazon before a person approves it.

**Platform:** Amazon Ads · **Type:** Change

## How to call it

* **MCP:** on `https://mcp.adsmcp.si/mcp`, run it through the `amazon_ads_write` tool with `{"action": "execute", "tool_name": "update_amazon_sb_ads", "arguments": { ... }}`, or call `update_amazon_sb_ads` by name. `search_tools` finds it and `get_tool_schema` returns its arguments; `https://mcp.adsmcp.si/mcp/flat` lists every tool by name.
* **REST:** `POST https://mcp.adsmcp.si/api/v1/tools/update_amazon_sb_ads/execute` with `Authorization: Bearer sk_live_...` and a JSON body `{"platform": "amazon", "arguments": { ... }}`. The arguments are listed below; they are exactly the tool's input schema.

        nothing changes in Amazon before a person approves it. Use this when you
        intend that change. Write tools create paused objects or wait for
        approval, and a failed spend-affecting call is not retried
        automatically.
