Meta Ads / API Reference

meta_ads_check_permissions

Meta Ads tool. Show which Meta permissions the connected token actually holds, and what is missing. Use this first when a Page or Instagram tool fails with a permissions error, and to check App Review readiness -- Page/Instagram write scopes only work for app testers until Meta approves them, so a scope can be requested at connect time and still not be granted.

This is a read-only tool: it checks permissions from your Meta Ads account. It changes nothing.

Ask Claude
