How do I find my Facebook Ad Account ID?

You can find your Ad Account ID in the **Meta Ads Manager**. It's the numeric ID shown in the URL or account selector. Ensure you provide it without the 'act_' prefix.

Can I pause an underperforming campaign using this agent?

Yes! Use the `update_campaign_status` tool and set the status to `PAUSED`. You can also resume it later by setting it back to `ACTIVE`.

Which performance metrics are available in the insights?

The `get_insights` tool provides comprehensive data including impressions, clicks, total spend, reach, CPC (cost per click), CTR (click-through rate), and CPP (cost per purchase).
