> **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.

Edit a catalog ad set through update\_meta\_ad\_set: budget, bidding, targeting, placements, schedule, status, or swap the product set / conversion event (merged into the ad set's promoted\_object) or the retargeting window (the product audience, which needs product\_set\_id). Targeting merges onto the live ad set at approval: each key you send replaces that key. Staged for dashboard approval; nothing changes until it is approved.

**Platform:** Meta Ads · **Type:** Change

## How to call it

* **MCP:** on `https://mcp.adsmcp.si/mcp`, run it through the `meta_ads_write` tool with `{"action": "execute", "tool_name": "update_meta_catalog_ad_set", "arguments": { ... }}`, or call `update_meta_catalog_ad_set` 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_meta_catalog_ad_set/execute` with `Authorization: Bearer sk_live_...` and a JSON body `{"platform": "meta", "arguments": { ... }}`. The arguments are listed below; they are exactly the tool's input schema.

        Targeting merges onto the live ad set at approval: each key you send
        replaces that key. Staged for dashboard approval; nothing changes until
        it is approved. 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.
