The NotFair write contract
NotFair gives an MCP client 66 Reddit Ads tools while keeping execution and auditability on the server. Recovery is platform-true. This page does not copy Google Ads impact review onto Reddit Ads.
The agent reads Campaigns, ad groups, ads, community targeting, pixels, and reporting. before recommending a mutation.
The proposal identifies the account, entity, intended value, and the tool that would execute it.
Execution begins only after the user approves the staged operation.
The result includes an operation identifier and is recorded with author, timestamp, and outcome.
Create campaigns, ad groups, and ads with configured_status=PAUSED. Activation is a separately approved update. Reporting can lag six hours.
Reddit Ads policies, permissions, and API restrictions still apply after approval.
Evidence table
| Control | What it protects against | What the operator sees |
|---|---|---|
| Explicit account routing | Reading or mutating the wrong ad account | Named account and account ID before action |
| Typed operations | Invented fields and ambiguous mutation intent | A documented Reddit Ads tool with validated arguments |
| Approval gate | Silent or autonomous spend changes | The exact staged operation before execution |
| Operation provenance | Unattributed changes | Operation ID, author context, timestamp, result |
| Honest recovery | Claiming Google Ads undo on a platform that does not have it | createCreativeAssetUploads starts image or video processing from media URLs. configured_status and effective_status are distinct. |
Limits and honest boundaries
No. Read tools can inspect the account, but write tools wait for explicit approval. Create campaigns, ad groups, and ads with configured_status=PAUSED; activation is a separately approved update. Writes wait for approval and record provenance. Reporting can lag six hours.
No. NotFair does not expose Google Ads-style impact snapshots or undo on Reddit Ads. createCreativeAssetUploads starts image or video processing from media URLs. configured_status and effective_status are distinct.
The operation log records the operation ID, target account, tool and arguments, authoring user or agent context, timestamp, and outcome. Provenance is not the same as an exact inverse.
NotFair advertises 66 Reddit Ads tools, measured from the production registrar and guarded by a drift test.
