Scored across 9 tools
Most tools have distinct purposes targeting different Instagram resources (followers, posts, reels, user info, etc.), but there's some overlap between instagram_user_info and instagram_user_stats where both provide user statistics. The descriptions help clarify, but an agent might initially be confused about which to use for comprehensive user data.
All tools follow a consistent 'instagram_' prefix with descriptive snake_case naming (e.g., instagram_follower_count, instagram_user_posts). The pattern is uniform throughout, making it easy to predict tool names and understand their domain.
With 9 tools, this server is well-scoped for Instagram operations, covering key areas like user profiling, content retrieval, and search. Each tool serves a clear purpose without redundancy, and the count aligns well with the domain's complexity.
The toolset covers most Instagram interactions well, including user info, posts, reels, search, and follower stats. However, there are minor gaps such as the inability to create or interact with content (e.g., posting, liking, commenting), which limits full agent-driven workflows but doesn't hinder read-only operations.
