meta_ads_ad_change_history

Meta Ads tool. Retrieve the full change history of a specific Meta Ads ad (creative level). Shows who changed what and when — creative, status, tracking, bids, and more. Uses the account-level /activities endpoint filtered by ad ID and object_type=AD. Args: ad_id: The ad ID to inspect (required). account_id: Ad account ID (e.g. act_123456 or just 123456). Leave blank to use the default account from env. start_date: Start date YYYY-MM-DD. Default: 30 days ago. end_date: End date YYYY-MM-DD. Default: today. Returns JSON with ad_name and changes list sorted newest-first. Each change: date, user, action, event_type, from, to, object_name, object_id.

This is a read-only tool: it returns ad change history for your Meta Ads account. It changes nothing.
