meta_ads_switch_budget_mode

Meta Ads tool. Switch a Meta Ads campaign between CBO (Campaign Budget Optimization) and ad-set-level budgets. CBO mode: budget is set at the campaign level and Meta distributes it automatically across ad sets. Ad-set mode: each ad set controls its own budget independently. When switching FROM CBO to ad-set mode: Meta clears ad set budgets during the switch. Call meta_ads_update_adset_budget for each ad set afterward to restore their budgets. The response includes the list of ad sets so you know which ones to update. When switching FROM ad-set to CBO mode: pass campaign_daily_budget or campaign_lifetime_budget to set the new campaign-level budget in the same call. Args: campaign_id: Campaign ID to switch (required). mode: Target mode — 'cbo' to enable campaign-level budget, 'adset' to use per-ad-set budgets (required). account_id: Ad account ID. Leave blank to use .env default. campaign_daily_budget: Daily budget in smallest currency unit to set when enabling CBO, e.g. '10000' for ₪100. campaign_lifetime_budget: Lifetime budget in smallest currency unit to set when enabling CBO.

This is a read-only tool: it returns switch budget mode for your Meta Ads account. It changes nothing.
