If you want to use OR logic, use relevant operators like REGEXP\_MATCH or IN\_LIST. |
| `limit`                     | integer                             | No       | `500`       | Maximum number of ads to return (1-1000)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| `response_format`           | enum (`flattened`, `raw`)           | No       | `flattened` | Shape of the returned ads. 'flattened' (default) flattens nested Meta objects into top-level fields (for example campaign\_id, adset\_name, creative\_image\_url). 'raw' returns Meta's response untouched, with campaign, adset, and creative kept as nested objects. Status and client-side filters work the same in both modes.                                                                                                                          |
