Call `list_accounts` and use a `adAccountId` from it. - A write on a plan without writes. The tool is absent from the list and refused if called anyway. - A write without `confirm: true` returns a preview and applies nothing. That is not an error. - A call to this platform on another platform's dedicated endpoint. The refusal names the URL that serves it. ## Questions this source answers | Question | Tools, in order | | --- | --- | | Report campaign performance for the last 30 days with native units. | `reddit_get_campaigns` then `reddit_get_insights` | | Show configured targeting, audience inclusions and exclusions. | `reddit_get_ad_groups` then `reddit_get_targeting` then `reddit_get_custom_audiences` | | Prepare a campaign, group and ad, keeping everything paused. | `reddit_get_write_schema` then `reddit_create_campaign` then `reddit_create_ad_group` then `reddit_create_ad` | | Show the actual creative assets linked to ads. | `reddit_get_ads` then `reddit_list_ad_creatives` | --- This page as HTML: https://www.getmcpads.com/guides/sources/reddit-ads Every page under /guides and /docs is available as Markdown: append `.md`, or send `Accept: text/markdown`.
