# ads_update_ad (https://sellersheetai.com/docs/mcp-api/tools/ads_update_ad)

> Update ads (creatives) across ALL ad products via the unified Amazon Ads API v1.

Access: **DESTRUCTIVE** · toolset amazon_ads · family ads.v1

In the v1 model an "ad" is the creative unit inside an ad group; a sponsored ad's advertised product is inside its creative (productCreative for SP, componentCreative for SB and SD, videoCreative for ST) — ad associations (ads_query_ad_association) are AMAZON_DSP's ad-to-ad-group links, not product links. Amazon Ads API · UpdateAd · POST /adsApi/v1/update/ads Docs: https://advertising.amazon.com/API/docs/en-us/api-spec-v1-ads#tag/Ads/operation/UpdateAd Gate: approve — interactive: show the change (Amazon's preview first where one exists), wait for an explicit approve; autopilot: only when the seller's own words asked for this change; otherwise ask.
