x-ads / API Reference
x_ads_activate_campaign
X (Twitter) Ads tool, proxied to X's own Ads MCP gateway. Activate an X campaign so it can serve ads. THIS STARTS SPENDING MONEY. Separate from x_ads_update_campaign on purpose, mirroring X's own split: pausing is reversible and cheap, activating is neither. Confirm the budget on the line items beneath this campaign before calling it.
This is a read-only tool: it returns x ads activate campaign for your x-ads account. It changes nothing.
