# Inventory TikTok Spark Ads and their authorisations

> Tier: recipe. Operating recipe: real tool sequence, core rules, known traps.

Spark Ads listed with their posts and authorisation state, the expiry-driven inventory.

**Intent.** Which organic posts run as ads, and which authorisations expire when.

## When to use

- Spark-heavy accounts, weekly.
- Before creator renewals.

## When not to use

- No specific contraindication beyond the preconditions below.

## Sources

Required: TikTok Ads

## Preconditions

- The account is ticked in the dashboard, confirmed via list_accounts.

## Inputs

- `window`: Analysis window. Default: last 30 days.

## Procedure

1. List Spark Ads with linked posts. — tools: `tiktok_get_spark_ads`
2. Flag authorisations nearing expiry against spend on them. — tools: `tiktok_get_insights`

## Decision rules

- **When** Meaningful spend runs on an authorisation expiring within 14 days → **conclude** Renewal is a media risk now: name the creator and the spend.

## Evidence requirements

- Every figure carries its account, metric and window.
- Anything below a readable sample size is reported as unjudged, not as zero.

## Human approval boundary

- The readout changes nothing. Any change it motivates goes through Safe Writes: preview, human confirmation, then apply.

## Failure modes

- Expired authorisations kill delivery silently: the campaign looks paused-by-nobody.

## Output

- **Readout**: The figures, with windows and accounts named.
- **Flags**: What deserves a deeper skill or a human decision.
