Meta Ads / API Reference
meta_create_image_ad
Use this when the user wants to create the image ad, not just upload the asset. Uploads or reuses an image, creates an image creative, and optionally creates a PAUSED ad when adset_id is supplied. Prefer generated_asset_id from the creative tools when the image was just created in chat. Source may be a local file path, public URL, data URI/raw base64 bytes, or existing image_hash. Requires page_id, message, and destination link.
This is a write tool: it creates image ad in your Meta Ads account. Claude asks you to confirm before it runs.

Before you can call it
This tool needs a connected Meta Ads account. The Meta Ads connect guide covers the OAuth flow and the permissions it asks for, and the quickstart gets a client talking to the server in about five minutes.
