Instagram profiles, follower/following snapshots and changes, with budgeted public lookups.
Scored across 6 tools
Each tool targets a distinct data source+action: stored profile reads (get_account), change history (get_account_changes), snapshot lists (list_followers/list_following), tracked-account inventory (list_tracking), and explicit online queries (query_public_account). The split between cached snapshot reads and the online query_public_account is well spelled out, though get_account vs list_tracking have mild thematic overlap in returning account/profile counts.
All six names follow a clean snake_case verb_noun pattern (get_*, list_*, query_*). The verbs map sensibly to their intent (get=read one, list=enumerate, query=live fetch), so the convention is both consistent and informative.
Six tools is well-scoped for a focused social-tracking radar, with each tool earning its place across the read/query surface. No redundant or filler tools are present.
The read/query surface is thorough, but a tracking product lacks any tool to add or remove tracked accounts—only listing/reading them. This write-side gap can block the core setup workflow, and there is no delete/refresh of snapshots, leaving agents at a dead end for managing what they track.
Read stored profile information and follower/following counts. Counts may have a different observation time than lists. No online collection.

Explicit online query of a public profile or ONE page of followers/following (one source page, usually 25 people). May consume credits: a first list page needs maxCredits of at least 2 (profile + page), a next page 1. Require user authorization for this target, type and maxCredits. Generate and keep idempotencyKey before the first attempt; reuse it with identical arguments when restoring. Never automatically fetch all pages or increase budget.
