# Meta Copy

Follow [routing](connection-routing.md) and [data rules](data-boundary.md).

Setup: `adsagent-setup`. Approvals and errors: `adsagent-approvals`.

1. Inspect `capabilities.delivery_mutations` and exact object level. Template
   state requires `capabilities.template_mutations.allowed=true` with
   `required_capability=mcp.templates.write`. Without Resources, use
   `inline_contract`.
2. Resolve source, destination, parent, names, and creatives. Quick Copy uses `*_status`, never `status_option`/`append_mode`. Never invent campaign,
   AdSet, template, budget, pixel/app, or compliance. Cross-account copy: call
   the eligible-pages listing action, let the user pick `page_id`, then prepare
   again — never auto-select Page.
3. For writes, skip Insights preflight: prepare reads live configuration
   without mutation. Show summary and await fresh approval. Templates use
   snapshot contract.
4. Confirm once. Consume inline `verification_result` first; follow read-only
   `next_action` while pending. Never replay or switch level, route, mode, or
   permissions.
5. Reconcile tasks. Follow reconciled create/copy `next_action` once.

Read [creation-and-copy-contract.md](creation-and-copy-contract.md) for
creation, copy, delivery, or recovery; [update-contract.md](update-contract.md)
to change existing entities or Ad copy; [templates](template-persistence-contract.md).
