Questions

• What does pauseAd do?

  pauseAd: pause a Meta ad so it stops delivering and spending. It is one of the tools The Cloud MCP server gives every connected AI.

• How do I use pauseAd from Claude or ChatGPT?

  Connect your AI to The Cloud at https://mcp.thecloud.so/mcp and sign in once. Then ask Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any AI connected to The Cloud "pause that ad", and it calls pauseAd.

• Is pauseAd safe to let an AI call?

  pauseAd widens who can see or receive something, so the owner approves every call explicitly. An AI cannot approve it for itself. It reaches a system outside The Cloud on your behalf.
