x-ads / API Reference
x_ads_add_targeting
X (Twitter) Ads tool, proxied to X's own Ads MCP gateway. Add one targeting criterion to an X line item. One call per criterion. A line item with no criteria serves broadly, which is rarely what anyone wants. Get targeting_value from x_ads_search_targeting_interests or x_ads_search_targeting_locations.
This is a read-only tool: it returns x ads add targeting for your x-ads account. It changes nothing.

You do not call this tool yourself. Ask for the outcome and the client picks the tool:
