• hasdata_instagram_posts_getInstagramPostsA
  3.9/5.0
  Behavior3/5

  Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

  No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It discloses token-based pagination via nextPageToken and limits to public accounts, which is helpful. However, it does not mention error handling, rate limits, authentication requirements, or what happens when an account is not found. For a GET operation, read-only nature is implied but not explicitly stated. This is adequate but leaves some behavioral gaps.

  Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

  Conciseness4/5

  Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

  The description is well-structured: it starts with a clear title line, then a detailed paragraph, and ends with use cases. It front-loads the core functionality and avoids unnecessary repetition. While slightly verbose with the list of return fields, each sentence adds value and the overall length is appropriate for the complexity of the tool.

  Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

  Completeness4/5

  Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

  Given the tool's moderate complexity (3 parameters, no output schema) and lack of annotations, the description covers the essential aspects: what data is returned, pagination, and the public-account constraint. It does not mention potential errors, maximum limit values, or ordering guarantees, but these are not critical for a basic GET posts endpoint. The description is sufficiently complete for an agent to invoke the tool correctly in typical scenarios.

  Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

  Parameters3/5

  Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

  Schema description coverage is 100% for all three parameters (handle, limit, nextPageToken), so the schema already documents their semantics. The description adds no new information about parameters beyond what the schema provides—it merely reiterates the pagination concept. With high schema coverage, the baseline of 3 is appropriate.

  Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

  Purpose5/5

  Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

  The description clearly states the verb 'Fetches' and the resource 'latest posts of a public Instagram account by username (handle)', and enumerates the returned fields (caption, hashtags, mentions, counts, URLs, dimensions, timestamp, and account info). This specificity distinguishes it from the sibling tool getInstagramProfile, which targets profile data, so an agent can immediately tell them apart.

  Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

  Usage Guidelines4/5

  Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

  The description provides concrete use cases: 'monitor competitor content, track engagement of creator posts, or build datasets of account content for vetting and analytics.' This gives clear context for when to use the tool, though it does not explicitly mention exclusions or direct comparisons to the sibling tool. Still, the use cases effectively communicate appropriate scenarios.

  Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

• hasdata_instagram_profile_getInstagramProfileA
  3.9/5.0
  Behavior3/5

  Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

  With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does state that the profile is public and lists the data returned, implying a read-only fetch. However, it does not disclose potential rate limits, response format, or behavior when a profile is private or nonexistent, which leaves notable gaps for a scraping tool.

  Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

  Conciseness4/5

  Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

  The description is front-loaded with the core action and return fields, then provides a compact use-case sentence. The use-case list is slightly long with overlapping examples, but every sentence contributes orientation for an agent; it is concise without being terse.

  Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

  Completeness4/5

  Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

  For a one-parameter, read-oriented public profile fetch with no output schema, the description covers the input, the returned data, and typical use cases. It lacks explicit notes on errors, rate limits, or private-account behavior, but these are minor for this simple tool and the description is otherwise complete enough to call it correctly.

  Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

  Parameters3/5

  Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

  The schema already documents the only parameter ('handle') with a clear description including the requirement to omit the '@' symbol, so schema description coverage is 100%. The description repeats the handle concept without adding new parameter semantics, so the baseline of 3 is appropriate.

  Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

  Purpose5/5

  Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

  The description opens with a specific action ('Fetches a public Instagram profile by username (handle)') and names the resource, input, and a concrete list of returned fields (full name, biography, counts, flags, category). This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like hasdata_instagram_posts_getInstagramPosts, which targets posts rather than profile metadata.

  Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

  Usage Guidelines4/5

  Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

  The description gives concrete application contexts: enriching CRM/lead records, verifying influencer reach, monitoring competitors, and building creator datasets. It does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives such as the Instagram Posts sibling, but the use-case list makes selection straightforward.

  Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
