# apple_ads_update_keyword

> Update an Apple keyword. A write tool that previews before it changes anything, one of 15 Apple Ads tools on the Get MCP Ads MCP gateway.

[Documentation](https://www.getmcpads.com/docs) / [Sources](https://www.getmcpads.com/docs/sources) / [Apple Ads](https://www.getmcpads.com/docs/sources/apple-ads)

Update an Apple keyword. Preview returns expectedSnapshot; confirm with that snapshot to reject changed resources or changed payloads. ENABLED may cause advertising spend.

> **Note** OAuth provider registered. Live advertiser acceptance is in progress; Apple account roles apply.

> **Warning** This tool changes the account. It is absent from the tool list on the Free plan, and it previews by default: without `confirm: true` it describes the change and applies nothing.
